The strength of any electromagnet changes when the current (amperes)
or the number of 'turns' of wire in its wire coil changes. Increasing either
of them makes the magnet stronger.
Yes, scrap magnets have value as they are made of valuable metals like neodymium, iron, and boron. These magnets can be recycled and repurposed for various applications, allowing them to retain value even as scrap.
Vacuum has no effect on the actions of magnets.
You repel me, Mike.The magnets repel each other.We must repel the enemy assault.
Scrap heap magnets are basically electromagnets. Electromagnets are magnets that can be turned off and on. When they are turned on, the circuit inside them, (which normally consists of a battery, a switch, coiled wire and an iron rod) switches on. The iron rod inside the coils of wire is magnetized once the switch can be on or off. Mechanically an electromagnet is relatively simple. As soon as you apply a small electric current it becomes magnetized. The copper wire produces a magnetic field around the core just like any other magnet. The advantage is that it can be turned on or off. The only magnetic elements are iron, cobalt and nickel. This means that electromagnets can only attract those metals. They can also attract steel. This is because it is mainly made of iron. This is useful because it helps sort the metals into allocated locations. However they cannot pick up paper, wood or any other metal that is not magnetic, or made out of iron, cobalt and nickel. Scrap Heap magnets work by a very simple but effective circuit board which is in them. The circuit board includes: - A switch (To turn the electromagnet on/off) - A battery (To power the electromagnet so there is a current flowing through it) - A iron rod (This is the component that is magnetized.) - Coiled wire around the rod (the current) When a scrap heap magnet is turned on by the switch, the iron core is magnetized because of the current flowing though it due to the coiled wire and battery. This makes it magnetized and it is able to pick up any metals that are magnets and its able to place them in their designated areas in the scrap heaps.
Materials that are non-magnetic, such as wood, plastic, and glass, tend to repel magnets. Additionally, materials with specific physical properties like being too thick or too soft can also repel magnets. Temperature can affect magnetic attraction, with extreme heat or cold potentially causing repulsion.
They are used everyday to move scrap iron around the scrap yard...
Scrap heap magnets can be found at scrap yards, recycling centers, or online marketplaces where industrial equipment and tools are sold. You may also find them at metal fabrication or engineering supply stores.
Yes, scrap heap magnets can pick up cobalt because cobalt is ferromagnetic, meaning it can be attracted to magnets. The strength of the magnet and the amount of cobalt present will determine how easily it can be picked up.
No, magnets do not repel sharks.
A scrap heap magnet cannot move non-ferrous materials such as aluminum, copper, brass, and stainless steel. Ferrous materials, which contain iron, are attracted to magnets and can be easily picked up by a scrap heap magnet. Non-ferrous materials do not contain iron and are not attracted to magnets, so they will not be moved by a scrap heap magnet.
Magnets attract or repel other magnets thanks to something called the magnetic force.
A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content

Usually magnets attract any iron based metals. Magnets usually only attract or repel other magnets

Yes, people can see magnets repel because apparently, the just won't connect
Two alike magnets repel because of the way that the magnetic force flows from each Pole.
