What is clustered region of aligned magnetic atoms called?
Technically impossible . In a rock , ferromagnetism can create poles , but not in atoms . Atoms cannot be magnetic . Molecules can be polar , which leads to Van der Waals links , but a region's molecule cannot become all lined in the same directions . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VmMr9TWzY4 http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/65/265-004-9B256ADC.gif Pretty simple , as a matter of fact .
A cluster of billions of atoms that all have magnetic fields lined up in the same way is known as a?
A cluster of billions of atoms that all have magnetic fields lined up in the same way is known as a ferromagnetic material. This alignment creates a strong magnetic field within the material, making it magnetically responsive.
What happens to the atoms in an electro magnet?
As a general rule nothing, however if you have a ferroelectromagnet, a ferrous core surrounded by a conducting coil, then the atoms align their individual magnetic fields in the direction of the magnetic field created by the coils, causing all the magnetic fields to add together cumulatively, instead of canceling each other out.
What are tiny regions inside all objects that cause an object to be magnetic when they line up?
Magnetic domains are tiny regions within materials where atoms align their magnetic fields in the same direction. When these domains line up, the material exhibits magnetic properties.
Why are irons atoms so strongly affected by magnetic fields?
you see magnets are really boring and you who cares because appartently you will be using this all the time in real life
In a magnetic material all of the atoms are aligned in a?
In a magnetic material, all of the atoms are aligned in a uniform direction, resulting in a net magnetic moment. This alignment occurs due to the interactions of the magnetic moments of individual atoms, often influenced by external magnetic fields or the material's intrinsic properties. Such alignment can lead to ferromagnetism, where the material exhibits a strong magnetic field, or other forms of magnetism depending on the interactions between the atomic spins.
What is it in magnets that causes it to attract metal?
Magnets can retain a permanent magnetic field. All atoms have a magnetic field which are randomly arranged in the object. Magnets and ferrous metals can retain or temporarily align the atomic fields, thus they are magnetic.
How would you describe magnetic domains?
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.
Why aren't all atoms magnets?
Not all atoms are magnets because magnetism is primarily determined by the arrangement of electrons within an atom. In most atoms, the electrons are paired and their magnetic moments cancel each other out, resulting in no net magnetic effect. Only certain atoms with unpaired electrons or aligned spins exhibit magnetic properties.
Are all magnetic fields the same size?
No
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.
What is a magnetic domain?
A magnetic domain is an atom or group of atoms within a material that have some kind of "net" or uniform electron motion. Let's look a bit more closely to see what that means and what the implications are. A fundamental property of any charged particle is that when it is in motion, it creates a magnetic field around its path of travel. Electrons are negatively charged particles, and they create electromagnetic fields about themselves as they move. We know that electrons orbit atomic nuclei, and they create magnetic fields while doing so. Let's keep going from there. If we take one or more atoms or groups of atoms and align them so that they have some kind of uniform electron motion, an overall magnetic field will be present in this region of the material. The individual magnetic fields of some electrons will be added together. The uniform motion of the electrons about atoms in this area creates a magnetic domain. In "regular" iron, these magnetic domains are randomly arranged. But if we align a large enough group of these magnetic domains, we'll have created a magnet.
