What does an electromagnet operator do to release metal attached to the electromagnet?
burat
What does the electromagnet pick up?
Ferrous metal.
What metal would you use for the centre of an electromagnet?
iron
What is the best metal to make an electromagnet out of?
An iron core and copper wire (that is coated with an insulator) are used all the time to make electromagnets.
Does the metal need to be an certain size or length for an electromagnet?
You can make any metal piece of any size an electromagnet by wounding a conducting wire around it and passing an electric current through it....
Why electromagnet is used for separating plastic bags?

What is used to produce an electromagnet?
A Battery, wire, nail/metal cylinder.

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 .
What does the electromagnet pick up?
Ferrous metal.
Where are electromagnets used in industry?
An electromagnet is used in an electrical engine, but an electrical engine contains normal magnets too.
What does the switch do to the electro magnet?
The switch is turned on to activate the electromagnet, and metal is attracted. Turning off the switch stops the electromagnet from working, and metal is no longer attracted.
What metal would you use for the centre of an electromagnet?
iron
What is a scrap yard magnet?
It is a magnet which moves metal around the scrap yard. Scientific explanation = It s a big round magnet which is actually an electromagnet. This allows the magnet to be turned on then off. When turned on the electromagnet attracts any magnetic substances. This is why most cars are made of something magnetic! You can move this electromagnet around because it is a crane you pick stuff up move it and then drop it by turning the electromagnet off!
How is electromagnet the same as permanent?
An electromagnet is only magnetic while current is flowing through the coils. A permanent magnet is always magnetic, and does not need electricity. An example of an electromagnet at work is in a metal scrape yard, where a large electromagnet is used by a crane operator to lift ferrous metals into a crusher (scrapped cars, for instance). The metal drops into the crusher when the electricity is switched off by the crane operator. Therefore, they are only really similar when both are magnetised.
