-- Stick it in a gas flame and heat it to glowing.

-- Drop it on the floor or hit it with a hammer a few times.

-- Stick it into a DC-current-carrying coil of wire for a while, in the direction opposite

to the way the poles appear when you do the same with an unmagnetized piece

of iron.

-- Stick it into an AC-current-carrying coil of wire for a shorter while, in either direction.

What is the thing that weakens a magnet?

Magnets are "demagnetized" by extreme heat. If you boil a magnet in water, the heat will demagnetize the magnet.

What is used to make magnets?

A good permanent magnet should produce a high magnetic field with a low mass, and should be stable against the influences which would demagnetize it. The desirable properties of such magnets are typically stated in terms of the remanence and coercivity of the magnet materials.


How do you stop a magnet from working?

You can't. You might be able to demagnetize it, but then it's no longer a magnet, it's just a piece of metal.


Is the magnet in a compass a permanent magnet or electronic?

A. Compasses typically use a permanent magnet.


How you can demagnetize materials?

A magnet has magnetic properties because the dipoles of the atoms are lined up in a single direction. To demagnetize it, you must scramble the dipoles out of alignment. First, heat the magnet past the Curie point (the temperature at which it loses its magnetic properties until cooled). Strike it on the ends of the magnet with a hammer. When cooled, it will no longer be magnetized.


Is magnetite a magnet?

No, it's a permanent magnet. It consists of an iron oxide, and iron is a permanent magnet.
