Some of the uses of magnets in various fields are listed below.

  • Magnets are so strong that it is used to lift heavy loads. In a junkyard, a crane attached to a magnet is used to carry heavy metal loads. It also helps to separate magnetic materials from the junk.

  • The magnets help the computers in banks to read the MICR numbers written on a cheque.
  • Magstripe is a magnetic strip found on the back of a credit or debit card. This magstripe is a thin plastic film made up of tiny iron-based magnetic particles. Each particle that measures about \(20\ millionths\ of\ an\ inch\) in length is a very small bar magnet.
