What can magnets pick up?
Magnets can pick up materials that contain iron, nickel, or cobalt. These materials are considered ferromagnetic and are attracted to magnets due to their magnetic properties. Objects like paper clips, nails, and certain types of metals can be picked up by magnets.
How magnets and electromagnets make a can sorter work?
In a can sorter, magnets or electromagnets are used to attract ferromagnetic metals such as steel cans. When a magnetic field is applied, the cans are pulled up or diverted depending on their magnetic properties. This allows the sorter to separate steel cans from non-ferrous materials like aluminum cans or plastic.
How are magnets useful for recycling household wastes?
A magnet can sort the ferrousmetalse.g., iron and steel, from the feed stream.

What constitutes a metal roof?
A metal roof is roofing material made out of some sort of metal. Most commonly steel but also available in copper, aluminum, and zinc.
What sort of bond does aluminum have?

How could you use an electromagnet to sort cans?
You can use an electromagnet to sort cans by activating the magnet to attract ferromagnetic cans while non-ferromagnetic cans remain in place, allowing for separation based on material composition. By varying the strength of the magnetic field or controlling the activation periods, you can fine-tune the sorting process to efficiently separate cans made of different materials.
What is steel needle?
A needle made out of steel - the sort you sew a button on with.
How does a floating train move?
