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.

Yes, it won't make any difference to magnetism.

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.


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


Does a compass only have a north pole?

No, being a magnet, it has a north pole and a south pole. The two can't be separated in a magnet.

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.


How close does a magnet have to be to metal to have an effect on it?

It depends on the gauss value of the magnet. Yourstood on a big magnet. It'scalled Earth. Youre a long way from the poles but it still has an effect on metals.
