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

What weakens a magnet?

Factors that can weaken a magnet include exposure to high temperatures, physical impacts or drops, and demagnetizing fields. These elements can affect the alignment of the magnetic domains within the magnet, reducing its overall magnetic strength.


How does breaking a magnet change its magnetic properties?

Breaking a magnet into smaller pieces weakens its overall magnetic field, as each piece becomes a separate magnet with its own north and south poles. The smaller magnets may have different magnetic strengths and orientations compared to the original magnet.


Why might a magnet that sticks to your refrigerator be unable to pick up a far away paper clip?

The magnetic force weakens with distance, so the magnet may be unable to exert enough force to pick up the paper clip when it is far away. The strength of the magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance, which is why the magnet can only attract objects that are close to it.


Why is the magnetic length of a bar magnet less than the actual physical length of it?

The magnetic length of a bar magnet is less than its physical length because the magnetic field around the magnet extends outward from the poles, so only a portion of the magnet's length corresponds to the region where the magnetic field is strongest. The magnetic field weakens as you move away from the poles, so the effective length of the magnet for magnetic interactions is shorter than its physical length.


What happens to the bar magnet as it nears the U magnet the bar magnet will?

Move towards the U magnet so that the poles attach.

As distance from a magnet increases what happens to the magnetic force?

As distance from a magnet increases, the strength of the magnetic force decreases. This is because the magnetic field created by the magnet weakens with distance, resulting in a reduction in the force it exerts on other magnetic objects.


What will happen to the paper clip when a sheet is placed between the bar magnet and the paper clip?

Magnetic filed of the bar magnet will penetrate a paper. Hence the clip will be attracted and stick to the magnet pressing the paper too to the magnet.


What happens when you move the bar magnet far from the nails?

When you move the bar magnet far away from the nails, the magnetic field surrounding the magnet weakens significantly. As a result, the magnetic force acting on the nails decreases, causing them to lose their magnetized state and fall off.

How do you provent from a magnet?

* Magnetic field weakens with the square of distance -- place the magnet as far away as possible. * Magnetic field is shielded with metal -- wrap the magnet in metal films, the best being ferromagnetic materials, such as iron, cobalt, etc. * use a de-magnetizer frequently on the objects that you don't want to be magnetized. =============================
