That will vary from supplier to supplier.
it's an incentive to you to bring your old part back for overhaul and resale as you get the core charge back when the return of the core (or part you are replacing)
Yes, the core charge is considered part of the sale of the new part, even though you can get your core charge back by returning the old part. Also when you return the old part for a refund of the core charge, you are *not* entitled to refund of the sales tax you originally paid on the core charge. You may be able to avoid the core charge and its sales tax altogether if you are able to bring the old part in to turn in at the same time you are buying the new part.
Because the core establishes the value of the part you are purchasing, so the state is gouging you for extra money. Even though the parts supplier will take off core charge when you return used part, they state will not let them refund the sales tax. You're basically paying tax for no reason at all. Every state is different, so check your state's guidelines on auto suppliers " core " tax.
So that we may understand how the shielding affects the core charge.
This depends entirely on make model year of the vehicle, tag numbers on the part and who you are dealing with. None of this information has been provided. It would be best to contact your auto parts supplier and ask.
It should be if it isn't because it can be likened to blackmail and extortion. A core charge traditionally applies to batteries and rebuild able automotive parts like engines, alternators, starters, etc. If you can't provide a rebuild able part, there is an additional fee for the core components, aka the core charge. These recycling yards are applying core charges to everything and anything that has a scrap metal value. They are not in the business of rebuilding or refurbishing automotive parts. They charge you a "Core" charge to steal your scrap metal. Either you return with your old parts and are refunded. They say it's for the "planet". Obviously they are selling a lot of metal to scrap yards at a profit. They are making a killing already on the catalytic converter, and often times especially with older cars the value of the platinum metals recovers more than they paid for the car to begin with and everything they do from there forth is for 100% profit. They are extorting and blackmailing you to return with scrap metal or be stiffed for a misapplied core charge. CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE the ANSWER
He won't
the atomic core charge of an atom is the same as the number of valence electrons in the atom
yes he will
nothing
The return hose for the heater core generally leads back the the water pump. The inlet for the heater core comes from the engine.
As you move left to right (in one period of the Periodic Table) the amount of protons in the nucleus increases. More protons means a greater positive charge on the nucleus, which is what "core charge" represents.
