A magnet is produced by aligning the magnetic domains in a material to point in the same direction. When heated, the magnet loses its magnetism as the molecular motion, which is caused by heating, destroys the alignment of the magnetic domains. Ferromagnetic materials also lose its magnetism after being melted. However, when the magnet is being hammered whilst cooling in a magnetic field, the melted magnet would gain its magnetism again.

Will rod magnet still become a magnet when it cut across into thin slices?

yes.when you slice a rod magnet it will still be considered as a magnet


Do magnets lose their power?

No.If you break the magnet, it is still a useful magnet.


Is melted copper still mineral?

yes


Can you cut a magnet and the magnet still work?

No. You'll end up with two smaller magnets, and each will have less than half the magnetic field strength of the original magnet.


Can a magnet be in oil and still attract to iron?

Yes, a magnet can be submerged in oil and still attract iron. The presence of oil does not interfere with the magnetic field generated by the magnet, as oil is not a magnetic material. Therefore, the magnet will still be able to attract ferromagnetic materials like iron, regardless of being in oil.


Why does a broken magnet remain a magnet?

It is so far experimentally impossible to separate the North Pole from the South Pole. Even if you cut the magnet into little pieces, it'll still remain a magnet because there will still be a North pole and a South Pole


Is a magnet still magnetic if it is in the fridge?

Yes


When magnet broken in half each half is a magnet?

Yes, each half still has magnetic properties.


Can a magnet attract to a refrigerator if the magnet is hot?

If it is a magnet, then it can still attract to a refrigerator. If it is a lump of hot metal or hot ceramic, then only gravity will provide attraction. The curie temperature describes when it goes from being a magnet to being a lump.


Does a rusty magnet still work?

Yes, a rusty magnet can still work, as rust primarily affects the surface and does not significantly alter the magnet's magnetic properties. However, the rust can interfere with the magnet's ability to adhere to ferromagnetic materials and may reduce its overall effectiveness. If the rust is extensive, it could eventually weaken the magnet's strength. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help preserve the magnet's performance.

What happens when you break a magnet?

As you break a magnet, the remnant (broken piece) shall still remain a magnet with the same properties and poles. However, there is only so far a magnet can be broken. Visualize a magnet. Now imagine to have a knife that would keep cutting the magnet into half. It will reach a point that cutting the 'magnet' further would yield into a particle with no magnetic charge whatsoever. This is called a magnetic domain. Cutting a magnetic domain further would yield into a charge-less particle as it would be obviously incorrect to state that an atom of a magnetized steel bar would still remain a magnet.
