Why will dropping an iron magnet on a hard floor make it weaker?

In case of iron there are domains which have been aligned facing one particular direction thereby making it as N-S magnet. As it is dropped then the alignment may get disturbed and so it makes the magnet weaker. Suppose we heat it then misalignment becomes enormous and so it would almost loose the magnetism

When does the magnetic domain in a magnet produce a weaker magnet?
heated or dropped on a hard surface
Can a magnet not be magnetic?
if it truly is a magnet, than no. however, you can demagnetize a magnet by dropping it or hitting it really hard to rearrange the domains within the magnet. Domains are the regions within a magnet that have particles that are either arranged so that the poles are attracted to each other or randomly arranged so that the particles are not magnetized at all. so if it is a magnet... it probably will be magnetic unless you take your anger out on it or something.
How do you magnetize a dress maker's pin?
You can magnetize a dress making pin by stroking it in one direction with a permanent magnet. I have done it using a good quality fridge magnet. Dress making pins may become magnetized when they are dropped on a hard surface, for example a tiled floor.
What is the name of the liquid magnetic substance?
Hard magnet
What is the difference between permanent pole and temporary pole?
a Temporary Magnet lose its magnetism quickly, a Permanent Magnet is hard and it keeps it magnetism
When does the magnetic domain in a magnet produce a weaker magnet?
heated or dropped on a hard surface
Does dropping a Wii destroy it?
it depends. if the floor is carpet it is a 50/50 chance but if it is a hard floor it might break. I'm sorry to say that but its true
What might happen if you drop a permanent magnet or strike it hard?
A permanent magnet may become unmagnetized because a shock it will have.
How can iron be demagnetized?
an iron can be demagnetised by ;-hammering it while facing east _west direction -hitting it hard on the ground -connecting it into an ac current while facing the east _west direction .

What makes magnets weaker or stronger lead or cobalt?
Cobalt will make a magnet stronger but, definitely NOT Lead. Cobalt is used to make Hard disks and other components for computers.
Is a permanent magnet called a hard magnet or a electromagnet?
Perminant magnet
How can dropping a magnet destroy its magnetism?
There are molecules in a magnet that allow it to stick to other things. It has something to do with positive and negative charges or atoms in an atom cloud, but none of that is important unless you are a scientist. But dropping a magnet could scrape off those important molecules causing it to have less magnetism. It's not that big a difference, but should still be avoided.A.A permanent magnet works because the individual magnetic fields of the molecules in the material are mostly aligned. It is the net effect of this magnetic alignment that we experience. Dropping a permanent magnet onto a hard surface sends vibrations rippling through the material, thus causing some of the molecules to change position and out of magnetic alignment. A magnet may have to be dropped or hit repeatedly to become completely demagnetized.
What is the maximum height a computer can fall?
On a hard floor, about 4 feet, carpet you can risk a little more, still not a good idea to try dropping your computer.
Are mouse droppings hard?
Mouse dropping are hard after they have dried.
Is a magnet there in a hard disc?
No
What is the difference between soft floor and hard floor?
a soft floor usually has carpet and a hard floor has wood or other things that are hard.
