Even a single atom (if it is the right kind of atom) can generate a magnetic field, so there can be any number of atoms in a magnet, from one onwards to very large numbers, such as 1025.

Is there a magnet in a batteries?

No, there are only atoms, electrons and chemicals in a battery. And there are many of these types of things in bigger batteries.


What are the domains in a magnetized substance?

Everything is made of atoms, so yes, there are atoms in a magnet.

Groups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles are called magnetic what?

Within a magnet, the separate poles are composed of domains, regions where the individual atoms are aligned with parallel magnetic moments.


What particle is responsible for a material magnetic properties?

Each atom acts like a tiny magnet. When the atoms are aligned, the magnets produce magnetism. When an iron or nickel material comes near the magnet, its atoms align with the different pole facing the magnet. For example, if the magnet's atoms have the North side facing away, then the iron object will have the South side facing the magnet. So then they attract.


Why does stroking a material with a magnet make it magnetised?

because the magnet causes particles called electrons in the atoms of the nail to align along the magnet's lines of force. The atoms with aligned electrons then act like tiny bar magnets themselves.

Why does rubbing a pin with a magnet make it magnetised?

by this procces you r-arrenge the atoms of the pin by a special shape that makes it a magnet


Why do opposite magnetic poles attract?

A magnetic field is created when the atoms of a magnet line to the north or south pole of the magnet. When two opposite poles face each other, the fields, and the atoms inside the magnet, line up, and this causes the attraction between the poles.


Can a magnet's magnetism be destroyed?

A magnet can be demagnetized by striking it many times, heating it, or cooling it. All of these randomize the domains.


How can you demagnetizing a magnet?

To demagetize a magnet you could smash one if the ends with a hammer. this will cause the order of atoms to rearange so that it's not magnetic.
