Given information
Given:
The waste is ground into tiny pieces and iron removed with a magnet,
The waste then is allowed to slide down an incline over permanent magnets.
To determine, how this process aids in the separation of nonferrous metals from nonmetallic materials in the waste.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
Even though the nonferrous materials are not magnetic, they show conducting properties when near a permanent magnet.
If they are passed down a permanent slide then, eddy currents will be induced in them. These eddy currents slow down their velocity compared to non-metallic materials.
