Vibrations such as those caused by dropping a magnet can randomize the alignment of the iron atoms, which will reduce the strength of the magnet.

How you do Speed control of permanent magnet synchronous motor?

To vary the speed of a permanent magnet synchronous motor, you need to vary the frequency of the AC power source. Of course, this also means you need to vary the voltage because the power factor is going to change, and you need to compensate for that or you might damage the motor.

What would happen if you tried to operate a dc permanent magnet motor from an ac supply?

Apart from a lot of loud humming, the motor would not turn, it would take a lot of current and, if the circuit breaker did not trip to cut the supply of current, it would probably overheat or might even catch on fire.

What happens if you put a magnet on a lamp?

It depends on the type of lamp and the strength of the magnet. An incandescent lamp works literally by running current through the filament to heat it. Parts of the bulb might be magnetic, so if the magnet were ridiculously powerful it might deform or break them. Fluorescent and Neon lamps use ionization, so although I haven't tried it, I'd bet a reasonably strong magnet might affect them. If you have an old CRT-based television or computer monitor you can see how this works by placing a magnet near it -- note, this can cause permanent effects to the picture quality, so either keep the magnet at a distance where the effect is minimal or use a CRT you don't care about. LED lamps are so small and well-constructed that I think they're more like incandescent lamps -- a really powerful magnet might damage them, but otherwise is unlikely to affect them.

Nothing "would happen". There are lots of things that might happen, depending on the exact circumstances.You would probably find it difficult to do this without their permission, though.


How are the atoms in a magnet arranged?

The atoms in a magnet are arranged in some kind of lattice, but the arrangement of the atoms is not what is important. What is important is that the magnetic dipoles of a good portion of the atoms are all "pointing" in the same direction. The aligned atomic magnetic dipoles form groups called magnetic domains, and these are locked in place making the magnet a permanent magnet. It "permanently" holds its magnet field, and is said to be a permanent magnet. And all because the magnetic domains in the ferromagnetic material are largely aligned.


What might happen to a metal pair of scissors if rubbed in one direction with the north pole of a magnet?

The metal part of the scissors would be magnetised to mimic the North pole of a magnet. It may not last long as handling the scissors will reduce the magnetism over time.
