using a magnet: steel atracts and aluminum doesn't
Which physical method can separate a mixture of steel ball bearings and marbles?
A magnet
On a reed switch why are the strips made of iron and not steel?
because a reed switch is like an electromagnet so the purpose of it is that it will spring open when you remove the magnet. Iron is better because it looses it's magnetism quicker, whereas steel strips don't loose their magnetism as quickly so when you do remove the magnet, a steel strip would stay closed for a while longer rather than open straight away :D
Is magnet an element mixture or compound?
The word "magnet" is a name for an object with the physical property of magnetism and is not necessarily chemically descriptive. Elemental iron can be magnetized, but is not necessarily magnetic. Mixtures such as carbon steel and many metallic alloys can also be magnets, as can compounds such as magnetite, which has the chemical formula Fe3O4.
When a magnet is dropped inside a copper tube its exit is delayed by a few minutes why?
This effect has nothing to do with the magnet sticking to the side of the copper. Magnets will only stick to ferromagnetic substances such as iron and steel, not copper. The actual physics of this experiment is more subtle. The magnet falling down the tube results in a changing magnetic field within the copper tube. This changing magnetic field produces a current within the tube. That current creates a new magnetic field within the tube which slows down the magnet.
Do steel wire screen sticks to magnet?
Steel will stick to magnets, but stainless steel will not.
What magnet does a magnetic strip use?
To remain a magnet it has to be made out of steel as steel makes a permanent magnet.
Can steel can attract with south pole magnet?
Either pole of a magnet can attract steel.
How do you tell what are aluminum wheels?
If the wheels are steel, a magnet will stick. If aluminum, it will not.If the wheels are steel, a magnet will stick. If aluminum, it will not.
When you touch a magnet to a steel nail the nail attracts steel paper clips. Explaine why this does not happen when you use an aluminum nail?
it wouldn't be magnet to a aluminum nail because the aluminum is not a way of magnet and a steel nail would because steel is a way of magnet.
Does steel attract a scrap heap magnet?
A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content
Will the north pole of a magnet attract a peice of unmagnetised steel?
That depends on the steel. If it is a ferrous steel the magnet (either North or South) will attract it - If it is a a stainless steel that is austenitic steel it will not.
How do you separate steel nail from brass screws?
Use a magnet. Brass is non ferrous and will not be attracted to the magnet.
How a steel nail can become a magnet?
No it can't become a magnet.
Are steel magnet?
probably
Can steel passing over a magnet be recorded?
The EFFECT of steel passing over a magnet can be detected and therefore recorded.
What is a sentence with the word magnet in it?
Put the magnet back on the fridge.Kevin liked to play with a magnet.
