Copper filings are not attracted to a magnet, as iron filings are.

How do you extract copper from copper II oxide?

this is the best way for making copper oxide Get some copper and grind it up as small as possible. Once the filings are small enough, place them on a flat backing tray type thing (I found something which is use for cakes, it only needs to be flat and the size of a frying pan) Then go to the kitchen and find the biggest element on the stove, turn it up to full and place you pan thingy with the filings on it. After a few minutes you will start to see the filings change color, every now and then you will want to give the filings a toss and shake. You will want to keep the filings on the heat until they stop changing color. I did this with copper filings (the copper filings were half oxidized in the oven, which took hours. When I put them on the element it was done in about 10minutes! It may take a bit longer as my filings were half oxidized, but they were larger filings so this could take about the same time)


How can you see magnetic lines?

The magnetic lines of force are invisible, you can not see them; but you can do the following experiment that will show you the effect that the magnetic lines of force have on iron filings.Here is a simple experiment to observe magnetic lines of force from a magnet.Take a piece of cardboard and tape a bar magnet on one side.Now flip over the board and keep it horizontal such that the magnet is on the lower side.Place some white paper on top of the board and use clips, staples, tape or glue to keep it in place.Now lightly sprinkle some iron filings on the paper. They would arrange themselves randomly at first.Now, keep tapping the edge of the board very lightly, just enough to make the iron filings move a little.After a while, you will see the iron filings arrange themselves in a pattern. The pattern will be made up of somewhat elliptical (or circular) lines from one pole of the magnet to the other.These lines are where the invisible magnetic lines of force are located.They never intersect each other because the magnetic field of the magnet acts to repel each other.


How is earths magnetic field used by people and animals?

People use Earth's magnetic field for navigation, such as in compasses to find direction. Animals, like birds and fish, can sense Earth's magnetic field to navigate during migration or find their way in the ocean.


If a stationary electron sat inside a stationary magnetic field would the magnetic field cause the electron to move?

Stationary charge don't produce a magnetic field. because it has no velocity in it, without flow of electron we can't find electricity and for that we have no magnetic field for a stationary charge. It produce only electric field.


What helps compasses find our way?

Compasses function based on Earth's magnetic field. The needle inside a compass aligns with the magnetic field, with the north end pointing towards the magnetic north pole. This allows users to find their bearings and determine directions like north, south, east, and west.

What can we use to find the shape of a magnetic field?

We can use iron filings, a magnetic compass, or a Hall probe to find the shape of a magnetic field. Iron filings line up along magnetic field lines, a magnetic compass shows the direction of the field, and a Hall probe can measure the strength of the magnetic field at different points.


How do you find the shape of a magnetic field using a compass?

Yes. I can be done using iron filings and a clear piece of plastic. Pour on the iron filings, put on the plastic, and then the magnet. The iron filings should form the shape of the magnetic field around it. If that does not work, here is a link to a picture... http://www.fi.edu/htlc/teachers/lettieri/magneticfields.jpg Hope that helps.


How can one find the direction of the magnetic field?

To find the direction of the magnetic field, you can use a compass or a magnetic needle. The needle will align itself with the magnetic field lines, pointing towards the direction of the field.

How to find the direction of a magnetic field?

To find the direction of a magnetic field, you can use the right-hand rule. Point your right thumb in the direction of the current flow, and curl your fingers. Your fingers will then point in the direction of the magnetic field.


How yo find the magnetic field of earth at a particular place?

Using a compass is the easiest way. The needle is going to point to the Magnetic North Pole. That means that the compass needle is ALIGNED with the Magnetic Field Lines of the Earth's magnetic field at your current position.

How do you find acceleration due to magnetic field?

To find acceleration due to a magnetic field acting on a charged particle, you can use the equation ( F = qvB ), where ( F ) is the magnetic force, ( q ) is the charge of the particle, ( v ) is the velocity of the particle, and ( B ) is the magnetic field strength. Once you have calculated the magnetic force, you can use Newton's second law (( F = ma )) to find the acceleration (( a )) of the particle.
