Even a single atom (if it is the right kind of atom) can generate a magnetic field, so there can be any number of atoms in a magnet, from one onwards to very large numbers, such as 1025.

Does the two poles of a magnet have the same atoms and elements?

Yes, the two poles of a magnet have the same atoms and elements. The magnetic properties of a magnet are a result of the alignment of the atoms within the material, not a difference in the type of atoms present in the two poles.


Is there a magnet in a batteries?

No, there are only atoms, electrons and chemicals in a battery. And there are many of these types of things in bigger batteries.


What is inside a magnet that gives it its magnetic properties?

Inside a magnet, there are tiny particles called atoms that have their own magnetic fields. These atoms align in the same direction, creating a magnetic field that gives the magnet its magnetic properties.


What do atoms have that makes an object magnetic?

a magnet field..!


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.


Can a magnet's magnetism be destroyed?

Yes, a magnet's magnetism can be destroyed by subjecting it to high temperatures or strong magnetic fields. This can disrupt the alignment of the atoms within the magnet, causing it to lose its magnetic properties.


Why can a magnet separate separate iron atoms from the mixture but not from the compound?

A magnet can separate iron atoms in a mixture because the iron atoms are not chemically bound to other elements. In a compound, iron atoms are chemically bonded to other elements, making it difficult for a magnet to separate them due to the strong forces holding the atoms together.


Is a Magnet a solid liquid or gas?

A magnet is a solid. It is a material that has magnetic properties due to the alignment of its atoms.


What is a group of aligned atoms that behaves like a magnet?

domain


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

I think it is a magnetic domain but not sure.


How are the atoms in a magnet arranged?

The atoms in a magnet are arranged in some kind of lattice, but the arrangement of the atoms is not what is important. What is important is that the magnetic dipoles of a good portion of the atoms are all "pointing" in the same direction. The aligned atomic magnetic dipoles form groups called magnetic domains, and these are locked in place making the magnet a permanent magnet. It "permanently" holds its magnet field, and is said to be a permanent magnet. And all because the magnetic domains in the ferromagnetic material are largely aligned.


How can you demagnetizing a magnet?

To demagetize a magnet you could smash one if the ends with a hammer. this will cause the order of atoms to rearange so that it's not magnetic.
