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.


What happens to an iron nail when you magnetize it?

When a ferromagnetic substance is magnetized, the magnetic dipole moments of the atoms in the material line up in one direction and are able to produce a net magnetic field. This has to do with iron's elctron configuration on the atomic level.


What happens when you heat a magnet too much?

The simple answer is, it becomes weaker and weaker and eventually looses its magnetism. In a permanent magnet magnetic domains within the material are nearly all oriented in the same direction, amplifying the magnetic effect. As one heats this material, the domains become more random. When heated sufficiently high, to the CURIE POINT, the material loses all of its magnetism. If the material is then cooled in the presence of a magnetic field, it will be re-magnetized. In some materials, heating to temperatures below the curie point will result in temporary loss of magnetism which will be regained as the material cools (reversible losses). Heating to temperatures below the curie point may also cause irreversible losses, ie, the magnetism does not return to its previous strength when cooled.


What happens to the electrons in materials that are turned into magnets?

When a magnet becomes demagnetized whats really happening is the arrangement of the domains is getting out of particular arrangement. When electrons are randomly arranged they cancel each others field and overall effect is zero. When a stronger magnetic field is applied to the object, its magnetic effect can be restored.


What happens when a magnetic material is magnetised?

non-magnetic :)


What happens to electrons in an iron object when the object is magnetized?

The electron spin is actually a tiny magnet When a material is magnetized, the spins line up


What happens to a magnetic domains of a piece of iron when it is placed in a magnetic field?

They all end up going in different directions so that it is magnetic anymore.


What happens to the strength of an electromagnet and field when a stronger ferromagnetic material is used for the core?

The magnetic field would become a magnetizing field as far as the magnetic material is concerned. If the material is dia magnetic then the electrons magnetic moment would get aligned in such a way as the resultant magnetic field within the material becomes perpendicular to the magnetizing one. In case of para, resultant would become parallel to the external In case of ferro, domains get aligned and so intense magnetic induction results.


What happens when you drop a magnet in a magnetic domain?

The domains are still there, but they point every which way, so the net combined magnetic field of all of them no longer has any preferred direction.


What happens to the molecules in a magnetized object?

What happens to the electrons when an object is magnetized?

the electrons attract


What happens when you hammer a magnetised nail?

It makes all the domains of the magnet jumble up ( they all turn separate ways ) So the nail is no longer acting as a magnet
