because when it is hit with a lot of force some of the little invisible magnets inside or the domains are thrown off and they don't attract to each other as much.

How does heat affect a magnet?

A permanent magnet (i.e. not an electromagnet) will be demagnetised by heating it.


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 .


How does demagnetisation of a magnet occur when you keep similar poles together?

WHEN A MAGNET IS DROPPED OR HAMMERED, VIBRATIONS CAUSED BY THE IMPACT ON THE MAGNET RANDOMIZE MAGNETIC MOLECULES and disturb the pattern of molecules of the magnet as a result magnet looses its magnetic force and becomes demagnetised.


Is a bar magnet a permanent?

yes,but it can loose it's property by heating,hammering and dropping


Can you demagnetize a magnet and if so, how?

Yes, you can demagnetize a magnet by subjecting it to high temperatures, hammering it, or exposing it to a strong magnetic field in the opposite direction.


How can be destroyed?

---- Magnetism can be destroyed by following methods:---- * By heating the magnet, * By hammering the magnet.--->In accordance to this point...allowing the magnet to fall violently* By keeping similar poles of magnets together for a long time. * [not sure about this]by keeping magnet under running water.


How do you spell demagnetised?

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


Why does a magnet lose its magnetic property when it is hammered?

Hammering a magnet causes the magnetic domains within the material to become misaligned, disrupting the overall magnetic field. This results in the magnet losing its magnetic property because the alignment of the domains is what creates the magnetism.


How do you make a metal magnet?

To make a metal magnet, you can create a temporary magnet by stroking a metal material (like iron) with a permanent magnet in the same direction. This aligns the magnetic domains in the metal. For a more permanent magnet, you can heat the metal to a specific temperature and then cool it in the presence of a magnetic field to enhance its magnetic properties.


Why does a magnet lose its' magnetism by hammering and heating?

When a magnet is hammered or heated, it disrupts the alignment of its magnetic domains, causing them to become disordered. This disorderliness reduces the overall magnetic field strength of the magnet, resulting in a loss of magnetism.


How do you destroy a magnet?

The same way you destroy anything else. melt it in a furnace is the only way because if you chop it one end will be south and the other will be north If you mean "How do you remove the magnetism from a permanent magnet?" There are several ways. You can heat it past its Curie Point. For iron that is about 800C. Stroking one magnet with another in a random fashion will sometimes work. Hammering it will usually work.


How do you reduce a magnet's strength?

You can reduce a magnet's strength by demagnetizing it using methods such as heating it above its Curie temperature, hammering it, or exposing it to a strong magnetic field in the opposite direction.
