What are some devices that use electromagnetism?

Electromagnets in scrapyards are used to carry metal around. Electromagnets are better than normal magnets because you can turn the current on and off.


How do scrap yards separate metals from non magnetic metals?

They use electromagnets to separate magnetic metals from non-magnetic metals/materials in scrapyards.


How do electromagnets in scrapyards work?

Electromagnets in scrapyards work by running an electrical current through a coil of wire, creating a magnetic field. This magnetic field attracts ferrous metals, such as iron and steel, allowing the electromagnet to lift and move metal objects. When the current is turned off, the magnetic field dissipates and the metal objects are released.


What are electromagnets used for in daily life?

Electromagnets are used in various applications in daily life, such as in doorbells, speakers, MRI machines, and magnetic locks on doors. They are also used in industries for lifting and moving metallic objects, like in scrapyards and manufacturing plants.


What are the some uses of electromagnets?

Electromagnets are used in scrapyards to pick up and drop metals that are magnetic because electromagnets are temporary which means you can turn it on and off. They are also used in hospitals and opticians to get metal out of your eye or body, You don't use a normal magnet because if you were in the middle of taking something out of someones eye you would need to be able to stop immediately in case you end up causing more damage.


Why is electromagnet used in a scrapyards?

Electromagnets are used in scrapyards to lift and transport metal objects. When an electric current passes through the coil of wire in the electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field that attracts ferrous materials like iron and steel. This makes it easier to handle and sort large quantities of scrap metal efficiently.

Do fans use electromagnets?

Yes, some fans use electromagnets in their motors to generate the magnetic field needed for rotation. These electromagnets are energized by an electrical current to produce the desired magnetic force.
