Metallic (nonferromagnetic) and nonmetallic particles in a solid … - Vidyadip

Question

Metallic (nonferromagnetic) and nonmetallic particles in a solid waste may be separated as follows. The waste is allowed to slide down an incline over permanent magnets. The metallic particles slow down as compared to the norunetallic ones and hence are separated. Discuss the role of eddy currents in the process.

✓

Answer

As the metallic particle slide over permanent magnet they are attracted towards magnet due to formation of eddy current on the metallic body and thus they slow down and are separated from rest of material.
