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.

well it uses magnets duhhh.... :P


Are electromagnets used in cameras?

Camera magnets are actually electromagnets; the magnetic field on an electromagnet is only there when you need it. They work like magnets everywhere else do; they are used in place of springs.


Are magnets waterproof?

They do not absorb water and do work under water, if that's what you mean. Electromagnets can be made for underwater applications as well.


What are the advantages of electromagnets against normal magnets?

Electromagnets' magnetism can be manipulated. Electromagnets can be magnetised and demagnetised by passing electric current. Therefore they are used in motors- which works when the coil is magnetised by passing an electric current. It is also used for cranes.


How does the magnet work in a DVD players?

There are magnets in the motor that spins the disk, and there are magnets that move the reading head (laser) in and out on the disk as it plays. They are electromagnets - they only work if an electrical current is applied to the coil of the magnet.


How do magnets work in telephone?

Magnets are used in telephones' speakers to make vibrations of air (sounds)


How do electro magnets work and what are their applications in modern technology?

Electromagnets work by using electricity to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field can attract or repel objects made of magnetic materials. In modern technology, electromagnets are used in a variety of applications such as MRI machines, speakers, electric motors, and magnetic levitation trains.


Why is steel not used to make electro magnets?

steel is note for an elecromagnet because once it turned magnetic it stays magnetic


Do electromagnets Produce Non Renewable Or Renewable Energy?

Electromagnets do not produce energy at all. They require an electric current to make them work so they are consumers of energy.


How does a can sorter work?

A can sorter works by using sensors to detect different materials passing through a conveyor belt. The software analyzes the data from the sensors and activates air jets to push the cans into different chutes based on their material composition. This process allows for efficient separation of aluminum, plastic, and other materials for recycling.


Do bulb make use of magnets to work?

No, bulbs do not make use of magnets to work. Light bulbs function by passing electricity through a filament, which then emits light and heat. Magnets are not involved in the process of generating light in bulbs.


What is the interaction between electric charges and magnets?

Electric charges and magnets can interact through electromagnetic forces. Moving electric charges create magnetic fields, while magnets can exert forces on moving electric charges. This interaction is fundamental to how electromagnets work and plays a key role in many technological applications such as electric motors and generators.
