Question

In a mixture of iron fillings and sand do the iron pieces retain their magnetic property?Give one reason to support your answer.​

Answer 1

The iron fillings get attracted towards the magnet and show the magnetic properties

To separate the iron sand mixture we can use a magnet to remove the iron fillings from the sand, because sand is not attracted to the magnet. After separation the components of athe mixture will have the same composition and properties as they did not start with.
