For example ferrous metals (Fe, Co, Ni) can be separated from other metals with an (electro)magnet.
If the mixture is passed quickly through a magnetic field, eddy currents are formed in the moving metal and cause a small electric field that pulls the aluminum into the magnet. The problem is that once the metal stops moving, it ceases being attracted and then falls down.
a mixture of iron filings and sandif we have a mixture of sand salt and iron first the iron well be separated with the magnet then the remaining mixture will be put in water where the sand will goes to the bottom. at last the water will be evaporated and the salt remains
A magnet is an object that attracts metal due to its magnetic field. When a metal object comes in close proximity to a magnet, it is pulled towards the magnet due to the attractive force between the magnetic poles.
It is not a mixture at all. It is a pure substance, an element to be specific.
Not necessarily. Permanent magnets are usually made of metals; on the other hand, ANY substance through which a current flows becomes a magnet, and such a substance need not be a metal. For example, a liquid with ions in it can conduct an electrical current.
Diffrent types of metal
With a magnet
A magnet can separate paper clips from marbles in a mixture because paper clips are usually made of metal and are magnetic, while marbles are not magnetic. By using a magnet, you can attract and separate the paper clips from the marbles.
With a magnet.
One way to separate paperclips from pennies is to use a magnet. Paperclips are made of metal and will be attracted to the magnet, while pennies are not magnetic and will not be affected. Simply wave the magnet near the mixture to attract the paperclips.
mixture in what state u want to know?? gaseuos, liquid or solid?? if gaseous, commonly we use burning, or absorption method. if liquid, non metal with non metal, or non metal with metal by using electrolysis to separate. if in solid metal with non metal, use magnet. as such, salt water, boiling, filtration is involved.
If the mixture is passed quickly through a magnetic field, eddy currents are formed in the moving metal and cause a small electric field that pulls the aluminum into the magnet. The problem is that once the metal stops moving, it ceases being attracted and then falls down.
because magnet has a property that can attract metals/metal particles
Put an object like pieces of paper inbetween.
A recycling center can separate a mixture of metal cans using a magnetic separator. This machine uses magnets to attract and separate the metal cans from other materials in the mixture, such as plastic or paper. The metal cans are then further processed for recycling.
You could use a magnet to separate a collection of metal objects from a tomb. Iron object and other ferrous metals will stick to the magnet while some other types of metals will not.
Mixture of metallic and non-metallic substances can be separated using magnet. For example - mixture of same and iron powder.
