• All of the above

• Dropping

A junkyard needs a magnet to separate iron and nickel scraps from other items. The scraps will be placed in a container for recycling. A manager is deciding whether to purchase an electromagnet or a bar magnet. Which is the BEST reason to choose an electromagnet or a bar magnet?

• An electromagnet because it attracts iron and nickel

• A bar magnet because it is a permanent magnet

• A bar magnet because it is stronger than an electromagnet

• An electromagnet because it can be turned on and off
