What is the role of an electromagnet when recycling metals?
The role of an electromagnet is to provide us withrecycled materials. The electromagnet is what picks up our heavy metal bits and bobs and moves it or drops it from a certain height so that the metal breaks and can be used again to make another car .

Ferrous metal.
Can an electromagnet be made out of anything made of metal?
It has to be a magnetic material, iron is the best. Mild steel is ok but stainless steel not.
