What are horseshoe magnets used for?
| Horseshoe magnets have a wide range of applications. They were used in the earpiece of a candle phone. |
| Magnets were used to create the sound of a person's voice in an earpiece by attracting a piece of metal known as a diaphragm, which allowed it to vibrate and reproduce the voice waves of the person speaking on the other end of the phone. |
| The phone was made in this shape specifically to hold the horseshoe magnet, since at that time there were no other types of magnets that were strong enough. |
| Horseshoe magnets can also be used as holding devices for jobs such as welding and sign making. They can also be used to hold a device such as an inspection mirror thanks to the hole in the top. |
| Horseshoe magnets can also be used in education to teach school children about the magnetic field using iron filings. |
| They are able to extract ferromagnetic materials from both hot and corrosive liquids, such as salt baths and electroplating baths. |
| They can also be used to remove ferrous materials from chutes carrying any powder or granular material. |
