Can a magnet attract to a demagnetized iron rod?

Yes. In this case, the magnet will induce magnetism in the iron, which is originally unmagnetized. Once the magnet is removed, the iron may return to an unmagnetized state; unless the magnetic field near the piece of iron is very strong.

How do you demagnetize a magnetized iron nail?

Rapidly rub the iron with the steel magnet for approximately 2 minutes for every pound of iron. Repeat on all sides of the piece of iron. Repeat process as needed until demagnetized.


Can magnets be temporary?

Electromagnets are temporary magnets made of iron usually that are created by passing a current through a wire wrapped around the iron. There are also ways of making temporary magnets out of ordinary iron objects that can later be demagnetized. I am not wise in the ways of these latter type of temporary magnets.

How can a magnet become demagnetized?

A magnet can become demagnetized by exposure to high temperatures, strong magnetic fields, or physical impacts that disrupt the alignment of its magnetic domains. These factors can cause the magnetic domains to lose alignment, weakening or eliminating the magnet's magnetic field.

How do you spell demagnetised?

In Australia and the UK, you would spell it "demagnetised". In the US, you would substitute a 'z' - "demagnetized".


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.
