Solution
Scrap iron is separated from a heap of waste materials in factories by using large electromagnets fitted to a crane. The electromagnet fitted crane is moved up and away from the waste to drop these scrap iron objects at a separate place. Electromagnets are used for this purpose because one can switch on and off the supply of magnetism during the process of lifting and dropping of the iron pieces.

Which of the following does not have a fixed melting point/boiling point ?
A, B and C are all liquids. Liquid A has a comparatively low boiling point. On heating, liquid A vaporises completely without leaving behind any residue. Liquid A is being used increasingly as a fuel in motor vehicles either alone or by mixing with petrol. Liquid B has a very high boiling point. It also vaporises completely on heating, without leaving any residue. Liquid B is a conductor of electricity and used in making thermometers. Liquid C has a moderate boiling point. On heating, liquid C vaporises leaving behind a white solid D which is used in cooking vegetables. The condensation of vapours from C give a liquid E which turns anhydrous CuSO4 to blue.
