The domains are still there, but they point every which way, so the net combined

magnetic field of all of them no longer has any preferred direction.

How do you magnetize and demagnetize a magnet?

By placing Iron in a strong magnetic field, the field will turn the iron into a magnet. If you melt the iron and then allow it to resolidify, it will drop the magnetic charge (and you can charge it again if you wish).


When you drop a magnet into a bucket of sand the magnet has a preference of which pole hits first Has this something to do with cats?

YES it alternates their ovulating sequence!


How do you make a permanent magnet?

To make a magnet you can do it three ways. No1. Get a metal rod and wrap some Insulated copper wire around it. You can use some other wires but it might not work as well. Make sure the wire isn't too thick. Wrap the wire 50+ times. Connect the two ends of the wire to a battery. Don't connect it to a strong power source as it will get very hot very quickly. Now the rod is a magnet until the battery dies or you cut off the current. Also; now the iron rod now has become a weak permanent magnet. The more current you add to it the more stronger it will be and the longer you have the battery on the stronger it will be.. Also, don't drop it as it will lose it's magnetic properties. No2. Get a magnet. The stronger the better. Rub the magnet up a piece of metal then when you get to the end take the magnet off the metal and take it back to the start making sure the magnet doesn't touch the metal. I don't really like this method as it takes a long time to get the metal to pick up anything decent. No3. Get a magnet and let it stick to a piece of metal. The piece of metal will be weak but enough to make the needle on a compass move. (Don't ruin a compass. Mine point south-west and it shouldn't do that...)

I connected mine to a 1.5 volt battery and it could lift up my scissors then drop them again.(Note: The iron rod now has become a weak permanent magnet.

What is elecotromagnet?

An electromagnet - is essentially a metal 'core' encased in wire. When power is applied to the wire, the core becomes magnetic - when the power is turned off, the magnetism is lost. Think along the lines of a crane in a scrap-yard. The crane has an electromagnet attached to its lifting arm. The operator switches on the magnet to lift a load of scrap metal, and switches it off to drop the load.

What would happen if you hit or drop a magnet?

it loses its magnetic properties


When you drop a magnet it loses some of its power to what object?

When a magnet is dropped, it loses some of its power to other magnetic materials in its surroundings. This can occur when the magnet aligns with the poles of another magnet or when it induces a magnetic field in a nearby object, causing it to become magnetized temporarily.


Why might a permanent magnet become unmagnetized if dropped?

When a permanent magnet is dropped, the impact could cause the magnetic domains within the magnet to become misaligned, leading to partial or total demagnetization. The force and shock from the drop can disrupt the alignment of the magnetic domains, causing the magnet to lose its magnetic properties.


Why does a magnet lose strength each time you drop it?

Dropping a magnet can cause the magnetic domains within the material to become misaligned, leading to a decrease in its overall magnetic strength. This process is known as demagnetization and weakens the magnet's ability to attract other magnetic materials.

Why should you never drop a magnet on the floor?

It will lose its magnetic field. The vibrations made from the drop charge the electrons and make them move out of the line that they were in, this causes the magnet to lose its magnetism.


How does the voltage change each time you drop the magnet through the coil?

Each time you drop the magnet through the coil, it induces a change in magnetic field, which in turn creates a voltage in the coil. This voltage fluctuates as the magnet moves through the coil, causing a change in the electrical potential.


If you drop a magnet it will?

If you drop a magnet it will hit the object under it


Is copper attracted to magnet?

No, but if you drop a really strong magnet through a narrow copper tube it has a really cool effect (electric charges affecting magnetism)


Can heating or hitting a permanent magnet ruin it?

Heating a permanent magnet above its Curie temperature can demagnetize it, causing it to lose its magnetic properties. Hitting a permanent magnet can also disrupt its magnetic alignment, potentially weakening its overall magnetic strength.


What might happen if you drop a permanent magnet or strike it hard?

A permanent magnet may become unmagnetized because a shock it will have.


How does temperature affect magnets?

Heat, because it affects magnetic molecules, causes a drop in magnetic field strength. Cooling a magnet has the opposite effect: reducing the resistance in the molecules and increasing the net field strength.
