What is an example of a situation where it would be best to use certain types of magnets to attract different types of objects?
Electro magnets can be used to attract metals temperarily while permanent magnet would be used for compasses.
How magnets and electromagnets make a can sorter work?
Magnets will pick up steel cans, lifting them away from a solid waste stream. Additionally, rapidly changing magnetic fields can be used to "pop" other metals out of a solid waste stream, through current induced in those metals.
How and where are magnets used in places of work?
The main use of magnets in workplaces is for the transfer of electrical waves into tools, drills, saws, etc. They make use of magnets.
What metal is used in low melting alloys and magnets?
Several different metals can be used in magnets. Iron is perhaps the most common metal used in permanent magnets, but alloys such as Alnico (Aluminum, Nickel, and Cobalt) can also make very strong permanent magnets.
Magnets are used for a lot of every day life things such as?
Electric motors use electro magnets to create power from electrical energy. Many door latches on cabinets include a magnet in them to hold the door shut. A compass uses a magnet to point the way North.
How are electromagnets used to make electric power?
Electromagnets are used to make electric power because magnets are a type of electricity,and electro is at the front.
Why are magnets used?
Electro magnets can be very useful to carry heavy loads of iron and metal from one side of a factory to another. Electro-magnets are formed by shooting electricity through a coil of copper.
What are electro magnets used for?
They can be used in Junk yards to pick up junk. They can be used in a Dentist.
What are electro magnets used in?
car wreck (scrapyards) metel dedectors at airports
What form of magnetism must be used when constructing a magnetic crane?
Electro Magnets are the controllable type of magnet used. It may be possible but not practical to use rare earth magnets.
What can a electromagnet be used for?
If your computer is using a CRT (instead of an LCD or plasma screen), the electromagnet is causing the electron beam to "bend" as it passes across the screen to make the image. If your computer uses a hard-drive, electro-magnets are used to position the read/write head, to spin the disk and to write to the head. An electro magnet is also used to spin the motor of the cooling fan(s). Electro-magnets are part of your automobile's electrical system as well. The starter motor uses electro-magnets as do all electric motors, the ignition coil is little more than specialized electro-magnets, the automatic door actuators are electro-magnets as are the injectors and any relays. Electro-magnets are everywhere, you just need to know where to look.
What are magnet for?
Some magnets are used to make electric motors and generators.Some magnets are used for car doors,door hinges,computers,hovers,blenders, CD players,washing machines, fax machines, escalators, elevalators,loud speakers,credit cards,tv,fridge doors,toys,jewelry, and elecric toothbrushes, magnets are used in junk yards to make new cars too,magnets are used in Roller Coasters.These are called electro magnets and you can turn them on and off.and they are also used in the new unistation 360 witch is awesome.
Where are electromagnets used in industry?
An electromagnet is used in an electrical engine, but an electrical engine contains normal magnets too.
What is an example of a situation where it would be best to use certain types of magnets to attract different types of objects?
Electro magnets can be used to attract metals temperarily while permanent magnet would be used for compasses.
What is used in a magnet often gold or carbon?
Neither really. Iron, since it is naturally magnetic, is often used in most magnets. Gold is conductive, so it can be used in electro-magnets, but it's cheaper to use Iron-ferrite
How are magnets used in making a car run?
magnets are used in the starter and the alternator. in the starter, electro magnets are used to run the electric starter motor and also to bring the pinion gear into the flywheel. in the alternator magnetic current is used to generate electricity to charge the battery. there may be some small magnets in the transmission to pick up metal fillings.
What would you use magnets for?
wellyou can use magnets to hold things on your fidge. Electromagnets are used in door bells which are electrical. they are used in garbage areas to pick up metal things using an electro magnet. they are used in loads of places
