Iron filings are made when you file a piece of iron with a rasp (they are the bits that are scraped off). They are therefore made of Iron.
True for iron filing.
Yes, a filing cabinet made of ferromagnetic material such as iron can be attracted to a magnet. However, the strength of the attraction will depend on the magnetic properties of the material used in the filing cabinet.
The average diameter of an iron filing can vary depending on the source and method of production. Typically, iron filings have diameters ranging from about 0.1mm to 1mm.
Solid
It depends on the type of metal it is made from.
Iron filings are typically in solid state.
Iron fillings can be extracted with a magnet.
Yes
it makes me smile :)
They are both mixtures.
The hypothesis for separating iron filing and sulfur powder using a magnet is that iron is a magnetic material, whereas sulfur is not. By using a magnet, we can separate the iron filings from the sulfur powder based on their magnetic properties.
An iron filing is a small piece of iron that is often used in scientific experiments to demonstrate magnetic fields. When sprinkled around a magnet, the iron filings align with the magnetic field lines, making the field visible. This helps scientists visualize and study the properties of magnets and magnetic fields.
