What is a substance in which the domains are all alingned in the same direction?

A permanent magnet has most of its domains arranged it the same direction.


Can a magnet not be magnetic?

if it truly is a magnet, than no. however, you can demagnetize a magnet by dropping it or hitting it really hard to rearrange the domains within the magnet. Domains are the regions within a magnet that have particles that are either arranged so that the poles are attracted to each other or randomly arranged so that the particles are not magnetized at all. so if it is a magnet... it probably will be magnetic unless you take your anger out on it or something.


Why aren't all iron materials permanent magnets?

When a magnet or iron piece is watched under a powerful microscope we will obseve that a magnet or iron is made up tiny tiny pieces which cannot be further divided realistically such small pieces are known as domains. In a magnet all domains are in the same direction due to which it attracts iron. While in a iron these domains are arranged randomly which nullify its magnetism. When a magnet is brousht near an iron matrial all the domains get attracted to the magnet due to which domains in iron get arranged in a particular direction due to wich at that time they act as magnets but as soon as the magnet gets farther the domains again arrange them selves randomly due to which tey do not remain permanent magnets


What can happen when you rub a magnet on a paper clip?

A paper clip is made up of iron or steel. It consists of particles called domains which are randomly arranged. When a magnet is rubbed on a paper clip, the domains arrange themselves in one direction. Thus it gets magnetized and behaves as a magnet.


How are domains arranged in a magnetic object?

Without magnetic domains a magnet wouldn't have its magnetism. Magnetic domains are clusters of iron atoms that line up in the smae direction when magnetised. When unmagnitized the iron atoms scatter.


How are the atoms in a magnet arranged?

The atoms in a magnet are arranged in some kind of lattice, but the arrangement of the atoms is not what is important. What is important is that the magnetic dipoles of a good portion of the atoms are all "pointing" in the same direction. The aligned atomic magnetic dipoles form groups called magnetic domains, and these are locked in place making the magnet a permanent magnet. It "permanently" holds its magnet field, and is said to be a permanent magnet. And all because the magnetic domains in the ferromagnetic material are largely aligned.


What would happen if a strong magnet passed an object with magnetic domains arranged randomly?

most of the domains line up so that the north pole of the object is attracted to the south pole of the magnet.


How is the arrangement of domains different in a magnetised and a non magnetised piece of iorn?

In an unmagnetised piece of iron, these magnetic domains are arranged randomly and point in lots of different directions - they cancel each other out. In a magnetised piece of iron, all these domains point in the same direction. This makes one end of the magnet act as a north pole and the other end act as a south pole. The better the domains are aligned, the stronger the magnet. Bye bye!


How are magnetic domains arranged in an unmagnetized object?

Get a magnettized object such as a magnet and rub it or get it near the unmagnetized object Then after awhile, the unmagnetized object will slighty.. SLIGHTY become magnetized and its domains will start to arrange themselves. After awhile though, they will begin to unmagnetize again.


How are domains arranged in materials that are not magnetized and in ones that are not?

Domains in magnetized materials are all aligned in one direction - those in un-magnetized objects are arranged randomly.


When all of the magnet domains line up on their own the material is called?

a permanent magnet


Who any material that is not magnetize the magnet domains point in random directions?

The domains line up
