Question

Can you use an electromagnet for separating plastic bags from a garbage heap ? Give reason for your answer


​

Answer 1

no, because electro magnet will only be able to separate out materials which have magnetic nature

Answer 2

Hey there,

No, an electromagnet cannot be used to separate plastic from garbage heap. Magnets only attract magnetic elements which include all the elements lying in the d-block of periodic table. Since plastic is neither a d-block nor it is a magnetic alloy, hence electromagnet cannot be used to separate plastic waste from garbage heap.
