How a scrap heap magnet works by using a picture?

A scrap heap magnet, also known as a magnetic lifter, works by using an electro-magnet to create a magnetic field that attracts and picks up ferrous materials such as scrap metal. When electricity flows through the coil within the magnet, it creates a magnetic force that extends beyond the magnet's physical reach, allowing it to lift and transport metal objects. This process enables efficient and safe handling of scrap metal in recycling facilities and scrapyards.
