Each magnetic domain has a magnetic field. When an external magnetic field is applied, the magnetic domains will partially align, so the magnetic fields reinforce one another - instead of canceling one another, which is what happens when they are randomly distributed.

magnetic domain is region in which the magnetic fields of atoms are grouped together and aligned. In the experiment below, the magnetic domains are indicated by the arrows in the metal material. You can think of magnetic domains as miniature magnets within a material. In an unmagnetized object, like the initial piece of metal in our experiment, all the magnetic domains are pointing in different directions. But, when the metal became magnetized, which is what happens when it is rubbed with a strong magnet, all like magnetic poles lined up and pointed in the same direction. The metal became a magnet. It would quickly become unmagnetized when its magnetic domains returned to a random order. The metal in our experiment is a soft ferromagnetic material, which means that it is easily magnetized but may not retain its magnetism very long.

Magnetic Domain is a specified or defined destination by which matter participating in the said interaction are collided by a force that adhere them - magnetism. Samuel, J.

No, magnetic domains are not visible to the eye. A magnetic domain is an atom or small group of atoms, and these are far to small to "see" directly, as we understand the term.

Can you magnetize a bit of metal that is not a magnetic type of metal?

Generally, no you can't. A ferromagnetic material has what are called magnetic domains within it. These domains are effectively "tiny magnets" and are randomly arranged when they are in non-magnetized ferromagnetic metals. We can align them and make the material magnetic with the right equipment. A bit of metal that is not ferromagnetic has to domains to realign, so it can't be magnetized.


What are the small individual areas within a magnet called?

magnetic domains. itdescribes a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and point in the same direction. Below a temperature called the Curie temperature, a piece of ferromagnetic material undergoes a phase transition and its magnetization spontaneously divides into many tiny magnetic domains, with their magnetic axes pointing in different directions. Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron. The regions separating magnetic domains are called domain walls where the magnetisation rotates coherently from the direction in one domain to that in the next domain.

How are magnetic domains arranged differently in a magnetized material and in a material that is not magnetized?

The magnetic domains of an unmagnetized material will be pointing in random directions, which is why it is appearing to me unmagnetized. In a magnetized material, they move from north to south.


How are The magnetic domains in non-magnetized materials different from the magnetic domains in magnetized materials?

In non magnetized material the domains are not ordered -they do not align with one another.


How are magnetic domains arranged differently in a magnetized material and in a materials that is not magnetized?

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.
