The type of filling that most often used to demonstrate the lines of magnetic force around magnet is?

Iron filings are commonly used to demonstrate the lines of magnetic force around a magnet. When sprinkled around a magnet, the filings align themselves along the magnetic field lines, making the field visible.


How do you separate iron filling and sulphur?

Magnet


Where is the most iron filling be found?

on the magnet


Why does using a magnet to separate iron filling from sawdust work?

Iron is magnetic; so, the iron filling is pulled/ is attracted to the magnet. The sawdust is not magnetic, so it will stay where it is, and will eventually be separated from the iron and the magnet.


How can you separate salt and iron filling?

a magnet would pull out the iron, and leave the salt.


A mixture of iron filling and sulfur can be easily separated by?

I assume "iron filling" is supposed to mean iron filings? In this case, I would use a magnet to separate the two. The iron filings will stick to the magnet, leaving the sulfur behind.


What happens when you sprinkle iron fillings near a magnet?

When iron fillings are sprinkled near a magnet, they will be attracted to the magnet and align themselves along the magnetic field lines. This occurs because the iron fillings are small magnetic dipoles with north and south poles that align with the magnetic field of the magnet.


What you can make visible by sprinkling iron fillings around a magnet?

By sprinkling iron fillings around a magnet the magnetic field can be shown. If the magnet is the opposite charge then the iron they will be repelled by the magnet showing how far the magnetic field reaches.


How would you separate a mixture of water sand and iron filling?

Step 1) Swirl a magnet around inside the mixture. This will cause the iron filings to become attracted to the magnet. Step 2) Using a filter and a funnel, pour the mixture into the funnel. This will separate the water and sand.


What part of a magnet would pick up most iron filling?

The one that the field strength is stronger


What happens when a horse shoe magnet is dipped in iron fillings?

When a horseshoe magnet is dipped in iron filings, the iron filings become magnetized and align themselves along the magnetic field lines emitted by the magnet. The filings cling to the magnet, visually demonstrating the shape and strength of the magnetic field. This process highlights the magnetic properties of the iron filings, which temporarily become magnets themselves due to the influence of the horseshoe magnet.


What will you observed when A magnet is rolled in a mixture of iron filling and sulfur powder?

The iron filings will be attracted to the magnet and stick to it due to their magnetic properties. The sulfur powder will remain unaffected as it is not magnetic. You will observe the separation of the iron filings from the sulfur powder as the magnet is rolled through the mixture.
