A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.

What is the scientific name of a magnet?
magnet :)
What kind of substance attract magnet?
a magnet Actually named magnetite, but it is a natural magnet.
What is the reason that a cold magnet is stronger than a hot or room temperature magnet?
A cold magnet attracts more than a hot magnet. This helps the flow of electricity which therefore helps the electric field, which therefore helps the magnetic field. They use cold magnets to power the LHC which collides hydrogen atoms. Obviously the cold magnet is very attracting.
Is a needle in a compass a permanent magnet?
Yes, it is a permanent magnet.
How do you supercharge a magnet?
You can supercharge a magnet by coiling a metal wire around a magnet then hooking both ends of the wire to a battery. Make sure the wire can conduct electricity and the more coils around the magnet, the better.
How do you test the lifting strength of an electromagnet Such as how many pounds can a specific magnet lift. How to test magnet strength in the field.?
the magnetic field of a magnet is measured through Gaussmeters.
Electro magnet used for?
A electro magnet is used for lifting things by the magnetic force provided by the amount of coils and the size of the battery
What is better for lifting heavy metal objects eletromagnet or permanet magnet?
permanet object
Can an electromagnet lift metal at a water depth of 300 feet?
The magnet on the surface and the metal 300 ft down - no. Lowering the magnet to the metal, then lifting - yes.
What should I know before buying magnetic sweepers?
Lifting power versus lifting distance is a primary concern. Also consider the wipe off factor. Then magnet size.
How do lifting machines work using electromagnets?
They work by changing the location of the magnetism. Another way to think of it is by getting a magnet and having a paper clip follow it the paper clip is the platform being used in lifting. In a lifting machine the platform follows where the magnetism is which is what lifts it.
How do you use one magnet to make a second magnet?
You can magnetize a piece of steel or iron, by stroking it with one end of a magnet. Stroke in one direction only, lifting off and away between each stroke. This aligns the atoms in a regular direction, in the blank piece of steel.
If you are given some iron fillings and a magnet describe how you would find the poles of the magnet?
If possible cover the magnet with a sheet of paper and gently sprinkle the iron filings over the sheet ot paper, they will stick in a pattern following the magnetic "lines of flux" which will get closer and closer near the poles of the magnet. Afterwards you can cleanup by lifting the sheet of paper off of the magnet and the filings will fall away. Without the paper the filings will usually become tightly stuck to the magnet, making it hard to clean.
Why is it in lifting a metal bucket using crane there is a electrical current exist?
For this to happen, presumably the bucket, or some surrounding object, has some magnetism. If you move a magnet through an electric field, a current will be induced.
How do you fix a stuck fuel gage on a 2000 buick regal?
Someone other than myself suggested to get a magnet (capable of lifting 50 lbs.) and run it over the gauge in the direction you wnat it to move.
Why would a bar magnet pick up more paper clips than an eletromagnet?
?? lol i dont know what electro magnets u have been using! if it is a homemade electro magnet, try increasing the coils in the wire ro the power u are putting into it. does the bar magnet (permanent magnet) have a larger surface area than the electro one? also, you do know that the magnetic potential of electro and permanent magnets vary right? they use electro magnets in junk yards that are capable of lifting scrap cars with eaaase
What does a magnet do to a paperclip?
A paperclip attracts a magnet ,a magnet attracts a paperclip.
