Can a filing cabinet be attracted to a magnet?
Yes, a filing cabinet made of ferromagnetic material such as iron can be attracted to a magnet. However, the strength of the attraction will depend on the magnetic properties of the material used in the filing cabinet.
Why is an electromagnet only suitable for removing iron or steel splinters?
An electromagnet, or any magnet, only attracts certain metals like iron. (Steel is a kind of iron.) If you want to remove, for example, aluminum splinters, you must use another process because aluminum is not attracted to a magnet.
What is an electromaget?
An electromagnet is made by wrapping many coils of copper wire round an iron bar. When electricity is send along the coiled wires, the iron bar becomes magnetised until the electricity is switched off.
How do you separate wood shaving and iron filing?
You can use a magnet to separate iron filings from wood shavings. Simply pass the magnet over the mixture and the iron filings will be attracted to the magnet, leaving the wood shavings behind. You can then easily separate the two components.
What metals does an electromagnet in a scrap heap attract?
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 ^.^
True or false filing is attracted to a magnet?
True for iron filing.
What does an electromagnet pick up?
Iron, Nickel, Cobalt
How does the electromagnet used in separators?
Electromagnets are used to separate ferrous metals (containing iron) and attracted to a magnet, from non-ferrous metals (not containing iron) which are not attracted to a magnet.
Would scrap metal be attracted to electromagnet?
Yes, scrap metal can be attracted to an electromagnet because when an electric current passes through the coil of wire in the electromagnet, it creates a magnetic field that can attract ferromagnetic materials like iron and steel.
What will be attracted or repelled by a magnet?
An aluminum wire carrying current An electromagnet An iron pipe (Apex)
What kind of things attach to a electromagnet?
Objects that contain ferromagnetic materials such as iron, nickel, or cobalt are attracted to an electromagnet. For example, paperclips, nails, and small metal objects will stick to the electromagnet when it is energized.
What objects can be picked up by an electromagnet?
Objects made of iron, steel, nickel, and cobalt can be picked up by an electromagnet. These materials have magnetic properties that allow them to be attracted to the magnet when it is energized with an electric current. Other non-magnetic materials, such as wood or plastic, will not be attracted to an electromagnet.
Can a filing cabinet be attracted to a magnet?
Yes, a filing cabinet made of ferromagnetic material such as iron can be attracted to a magnet. However, the strength of the attraction will depend on the magnetic properties of the material used in the filing cabinet.
What does a current carrying coil with an iron core make?
A current carrying coil with an iron core creates an electromagnet. The iron core enhances the magnetic field strength produced by the coil, making it more effective for applications like electric motors, transformers, and solenoids.

Is electromagnet used in iron box?
Yes, an electromagnet is commonly used in an iron box. The electromagnet generates heat when electricity passes through it, which then heats up the metal plate at the bottom of the iron box to iron clothes.
