IRON METAL SEGREGATOR from a heap of DEBRIS.

Description :- It is a device which is made using an electromagnet. It perfectly serves the purpose of segregating iron metal parts and all other ferromagnetic metals from debris. Whenever it switched is on , the iron metal components from waste approach towards it due to the force of magnetic attraction.

Factors Affecting The Magnetic Field Strength 

• Magnetic Field Strength ∝ number of turns in the winding
• Magnetic Field Strength ∝ the current in the wire.

Maxwell's corkscrew rule states that if a right-handed screw is turned so that it moves forwards in the same direction as the conventional current, its direction of rotation will give the direction of the magnetic field.

Electromagnet:- It a soft metal core made into a magnet by the passage of electric current through a coil surrounding it.

Some properties of an electromagnet :-

1. The magnetic properties are displayed only when current is passed through it.
2. It requires a continuous supply of electricity to maintain its magnetic field.
3. The poles of this kind of magnet can be altered with the flow of current.

Procedure for making this device:-

• Take an iron nail and wound insulated copper wire over it.
• Curl it over the nail without leaving gaps.
• Make a frame using wooden sticks to hold all components. 
• Use a hot glue gun to stick parts.
• Connect end terminals of the solenoid with terminals of 9 volt battery.
• Make sure to attach an on/off switch. 
• Test the connections first and then paste all components over the wooden stick frame with the help of glue gun or adhesive.

Eureka! The Project is ready.
