A scrap heap magnet is an electromagnet, therefore whilst it is on, it can attract any magnets and metal objects with any Nickel, Cobalt and Gadolinium in them.

Hope that answered your question ^.^

What happens inside a scrap heap magnet?

Scrap heap magnets are basically electromagnets. Electromagnets are simply wire coils usually would around an iron core. When connected to a DC voltage or current source, the electromagnet becomes energized, creating a magnetic field just like a permanent magnet. The magnetic flux density is proportional to the magnitude of the current flowing in the wire of the electromagnet.


What can a scrap heap magnet do?

A scrap heap magnet can attract heavy and large objects like cars lorrys metal chairs and many more thing but they have to be madeout of iron, cobalt, nickel or steel well sometime depending on what metals or used to make it. == ==


How does a scrap heap crane work?

A scrapheap crane works simply by a piece of soft iron surrounded in coper coiled coil and a electromagnet. when the switch is activated a current is sent from the battery to the electromagnet!


How exactly does scrap heap metal work i need it for my cience homework would be grate if you could include how i can increase the strength thanks?

welll a scrap heat metal magnet works because it has an electromagnet inside it. The electromagenet has a soft iron core (so that when it can be turned on and off), a coil of wire with lots of turns (to increase the strength of the magnet), and the voltage is very high( also to increase strength.


Where can you find scrap heap magnets?

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.

It very efficiently separates ferrous from non-ferrous scrap.


Does steel attract a scrap heap magnet?

A scrap heap magnet attracts steel - but not steel with a high chromium or nickel content


What materials can a scrap heap magnet attract?

A scrap heap magnet can attract most ferrous materials, such as iron and steel. This includes items like nails, bolts, screws, and other metal objects containing iron. Non-ferrous materials like aluminum, copper, and brass will not be attracted to a scrap heap magnet.


What can scrap heap metals pick up?

How does a car scrap heap magnet work?

Scrap Heap MagnetUsually the kind of magnet a junkyard uses is an electromagnet. An electromagnet is simply an iron core wrapped around by copper wire. Then current runs through the wire, it becomes a very strong magnet. There are other types, but I think electromagnet is the most common for car scrap heap.


What metals are attacted by a scrap heap magnet?

A magnet is attracted by metals containing iron in their makeup, primarily steel.


What does a circuit diagram for a scrap heap magnet looks like?

The cicuit at first is all conected when it is turned on then the person driving the machine will turn the engine off and the circuit will disconnect causeing the magnet not to keep hold of the metal.


What do scrap heap magnets repel?

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.


What doesnt a scrap heap metal magnet attract?

Anything without iron in it, and some iron alloys such as stainless steel.

What material cant a scrap heap magnet move?

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.
