What are the small individual areas within a magnet called?

magnetic domains. itdescribes a region within a magnetic material which has uniform magnetization. This means that the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and point in the same direction. Below a temperature called the Curie temperature, a piece of ferromagnetic material undergoes a phase transition and its magnetization spontaneously divides into many tiny magnetic domains, with their magnetic axes pointing in different directions. Magnetic domain structure is responsible for the magnetic behavior of ferromagnetic materials like iron. The regions separating magnetic domains are called domain walls where the magnetisation rotates coherently from the direction in one domain to that in the next domain.


Group of atoms within a magnet is called a what..........?

I think it is a magnetic domain but not sure.


What is clustered region of aligned magnetic atoms called?

Technically impossible . In a rock , ferromagnetism can create poles , but not in atoms . Atoms cannot be magnetic . Molecules can be polar , which leads to Van der Waals links , but a region's molecule cannot become all lined in the same directions . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VmMr9TWzY4 http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/65/265-004-9B256ADC.gif Pretty simple , as a matter of fact .


What is the name of the temperature at which a magnetic material will lose it's magnetic alignment?

The temperature at which a magnetic material loses its magnetic alignment is called the Curie temperature. Above this temperature, the material becomes paramagnetic as the thermal energy disrupts the alignment of the magnetic domains.


Why does stroking a material with a magnet make it magnetised?

because the magnet causes particles called electrons in the atoms of the nail to align along the magnet's lines of force. The atoms with aligned electrons then act like tiny bar magnets themselves.

A grouping of atoms that have their magnetic fields aligned is called?

A grouping of atoms that have their magnetic fields aligned is called a magnetic domain. In a material, these domains can interact and contribute to its overall magnetic properties.


True or false are Magnetic poles called domains?

False. Magnetic poles and domains are different concepts. Magnetic poles refer to the regions of a magnet where the magnetic force is concentrated, while domains are regions within a magnetic material where the magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in the same direction.


What is the term for the distinctive poles formed when a magnetic material's atoms group together in regions?

domains


Why is magnet unable to stick to a stainless steel refrigerator?

If a magnet doesn't stick to a material, that means that the material is non-magnetic. Every individual atom is a magnet, but in a magnetic material, there are groups of atoms (called "magnetic domains") that have their magnetic directions aligned. An outside magnetic field in such materials will align some of the magnetic domains in the direction of the magnetic field.


What is a substance in which the domains are all aligned in the same direction?

A substance in which the domains are all aligned in the same direction is called a ferromagnetic material. This alignment allows the material to exhibit strong magnetic properties, making it useful for applications such as electromagnets and data storage devices.


A region in a ferromagnetic material has a large number of atoms which aligh magnetic fields is called?

A region in a ferromagnetic material with aligned magnetic fields is called a magnetic domain. These domains exhibit a collective magnetic behavior, where the majority of atomic magnetic moments align in the same direction, contributing to the overall magnetization of the material.


Groups of atoms with aligned magnetic poles are called magnetic what?

Within a magnet, the separate poles are composed of domains, regions where the individual atoms are aligned with parallel magnetic moments.

When a material has magnetic domains but don't line up what is this called?

This is called 'bad grammar'.


What Magnetised Units Forming Clusters Are Called?

Magnetized units forming clusters are called magnetic domains. In a magnetic material, these domains align to create a net magnetic moment. They can be manipulated by applying an external magnetic field.
