Roughly speaking, there are only two options here: either a component reacts to the magnet, or it doesn't. This means that you can easily have a mixture of two substances that either both react to the magnet, or none of them reacts to it, so that you can't use the magnet to separate them.

What is the scientific way of separating mixtures?

There are several different ways and procedures of separating mixtures, though, some mixtures areirreversible, and can permanently be combined. A few ways of separating mixtures is through evaporation, filtration, sieving, gravity separation, distillation, condensation, froth flotation, magnetic separation, chromatography, and centrifuging (http://www.slideshare.net/brittgow/separating-mixtures-1247457). Also certain chemical reactions can separate mixtures, or create substances, i.e. acid+base=salt+water etc. (If this is no help I'm sorry just look up separating mixtures on Google).


What is the full name for the north pole of a magnet?

Though it is hardly an official scientific designation, one sometimes refers to the north pole of a magnet as the "north seeking pole." This is, of course, in accordance with the characteristic of a compass.


Why a fixed magnet attract a iornic objects eventhough magneticfield doesn't do any work?

Iron has a very high permeability. So it lets maximum number of Magnetic lines of force to pass through it. The closer is the ironic conductor to the magnet, more is the number of lines of force passing through the ironic object. That is why the magnet attracts the ironic object.


What is the second strongest magnet in the world?

The second strongest building material is obsidian even though it can't get blown up.


Although copper and aluminum are not magnetic why is a sheet of either metal more difficult to pass between the pole pieces of a magnet than a sheet of cardboard?

Even though copper and aluminum are not magnetic themselves, they can interact with magnetic fields. In the case of a magnet, the changing magnetic field induces eddy currents in the metal sheet, creating a magnetic field of its own that opposes the magnet’s field. This dynamic interaction results in the resistance you feel when trying to pass a metal sheet between the pole pieces of a magnet, unlike with a non-magnetic material like cardboard.

What is the magnetic length of a magnet?

The effective length of a magnet is the distance between the magnetic poles. It is always less than the geometric length of the magnet,though the actual relation between the two depends on the shape of the magnet.


Is there a relationship between the size and strength of a magnet?

In reality no. Though the size of a magnet does seem to affect the size of a magnetic field, it is in effect a ratio of volume, and does not change the effect of the magnetic field. The potential magnetism is not affected by size so much as composition of the magnet.


Are all mixtures a solutionare all solution a mixturegive examples?

All solutions are mixtures but not all mixtures are solutions. A solution is a mixture of compounds where molecules of one compound are dissolved in another like salt(the solute) in water(the solvent). Other mixtures might not be solutions though, like sand and gravel, because one does not dissolve in the other


Can you test gold with a magnet?

Yes though it isn't a completely accurate way to test it. If a magnet will stick to it then it is most likely gold plated, but if the magnet doesn't stick to it that doesn't mean that it is not plated just that the base metal isn't mahnetic.


Which continent is London England in?

England is part of Europe, though we have the English Channel separating us from Europe proper.

Will a strong magnet attract a piece of copper?

no it wont because copper is not a type of magnet even though it is a metal


What is the similarities between a bar magnet and a electromagnets?

Both are magnets, but an electromagnet needs electricity to become a magnet. Hence, a magnet is also the same as a electromagnet.Also a magnet Will attract ferrous metals as will an electromagnet, when switched on!


How can it be shown that a magnetic field exist around a wire though which a direct electric current is passing?

The magnetic field can easily be detected with a permanent magnet that is free to move - for example a compass (which has a magnetic needle), or a magnet hanging on a string.
