Usually 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 else can I help you with?
Why would they use a magnet in a scrap yard?
To move heavy scrap metal from place to place. You are able to flatten scrap metal with some magnets, this enables you to pick up more. My magnet weighed in at 5 tons, therefore can easily crush a car and pick up multiple flattened cars. These types of magnets are very powerful and can penetrate through multiple layered vehicles if they have been crushed, otherwise to hover a magnet over a car in its original un-crushed condition would not be a sufficient enough magnetised area (just the roof on its own) for the magnet to hold the weight of a car. I hope this helps to explain your question.
Why can't a magnet pull a car?
A magnet cannot pull a car because the force of attraction between the magnet and the car is not strong enough to overcome the car's weight and inertia. The magnetic force is not powerful enough to move the car, which is much heavier and larger than the magnet.
How does a magnet pulling a car demonstrate the principles of magnetic force and motion?
When a magnet pulls a car, it demonstrates the principles of magnetic force and motion by showing how the magnetic force between the magnet and the car causes the car to move towards the magnet. This is because the magnet creates a magnetic field that exerts a force on the car, resulting in motion.
Can a magnet pull a car with its magnetic force?
No, a magnet cannot pull a car with its magnetic force because the force is not strong enough to overcome the weight and inertia of the car.
What is an advantage of using an electromagnet over a permanent magnet?
The advantage of an elecromagnet is that you can turn it on and off with a simple switch. So for example if you want to pick up a scrap car with a crane/electromagnet and move it, you can turn the electromagnet off when you want to release the car. You could not do the with a permanent magnet obviously.
What are facts about the scrap yard magnet?
A scrapyard magnet is a large magnet that attracts materials such as colbolt, iron, nickel. It can be turned on and off, and when you turn off the magnet it drops all the scrap, it is taken by truck or train car and then it goes to a recycling plant.as it moves it holds scrap and takes it to another pile.
How do you call the magnet that is used to pick up cars in a scrapyard?
It is simply called a scrap magnet. Ohio Magnetics and Walker both manufacturer scrap magnets.
How does an electromagnet work in a scrapyard?
In a scrapyard when the workers need to pick up a car there is a crane with a magnet on it. So when they see a car they turn the electric magnet on so it picks up the car and they turn off the electric magnet to drop the car.
Can a magnet move a car?
A magnet can move a car, if the magnet is strong enough.

Why can't we use a permanent magnet in a scrap yard?
You need to use an electromagnet in a scrap yard so that you can let go of the pieces of scrap that you pick up. A permanent magnet would not allow you to let go.
Why can't a magnet pull a car?
A magnet cannot pull a car because the force of attraction between the magnet and the car is not strong enough to overcome the car's weight and inertia. The magnetic force is not powerful enough to move the car, which is much heavier and larger than the magnet.

What do you do if none of your accessories work on your 2000 toyota Corolla and your fuses in the main box are good?
Scrap the car and buy a new one.
How much money can one expect to get for a scrap car?
The amount of money one can expect for a scrap car depends on several factors, including the car’s make, model, age, condition, and weight. In Sydney, car removal services can offer competitive prices for scrap vehicles, with some companies providing instant quotes based on these variables. Car removal Sydney services typically offer cash payments for scrap cars, ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.
If your car was badly damaged and your dont want it fixed can you get it totaled?
you can sell int for scrap at a scrap yard.
Can you get money from a scrap dealer for scrap cars?
A person can get money from a scrap dealer for scrapping their car. A scrap dealer pays for scrap, usually by the pound. The bigger the car, the more scrap metal it has and would be worth more.
