alleryWhy can a powered lifting magnet release scrap when switched off?
AIts field disappears with no current
BIts core becomes heavier
CIts wire changes into iron
DIts field grows without current
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Its field disappears with no current
Switching off current removes the electromagnet field, so the scrap is released.
