Best Answer

A permanent magnet (i.e. not an electromagnet) will be demagnetised by heating it.

Can hot and cold affect magnets?

yes it does affect magnets ! though cold has little effect on the properties of a magnet , but heat drastically brings about change in properties of a magnet. With increasing temperature, the magnet will gradually lose magnetization until a certain temperature (called the Curie temperature) where the magnetization goes away entirely. In addition to this effect, the domains of the magnet will have a greater chance of changing orientation, further weakening the overall magnetic effect.
