Within a magnet, the separate poles are composed of domains, regions where the individual atoms are aligned with parallel magnetic moments.

A grouping of atoms that have their magnetic fields aligned is called?

A grouping of atoms that have their magnetic fields aligned is called a magnetic domain. In a material, these domains can interact and contribute to its overall magnetic properties.


Group of atoms whose magnetic poles are aligned?

A group of atoms whose magnetic poles are aligned is known as a magnetic domain. In a material with magnetic domains, the individual atoms within each domain have their magnetic moments aligned in the same direction, which results in a net magnetic field for that domain.


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.


What is the definition for Magnetic Domain?

A magnetic domain is a region within a material where the magnetic moments of atoms are aligned in the same direction. These domains can change size, shape, and orientation in response to external magnetic fields.


What is the term for the distinctive poles formed when a magnetic material's atoms group together in regions?

domains

What is clustered region of aligned magnetic atoms called?

Technically impossible . In a rock , ferromagnetism can create poles , but not in atoms . Atoms cannot be magnetic . Molecules can be polar , which leads to Van der Waals links , but a region's molecule cannot become all lined in the same directions . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VmMr9TWzY4 http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/65/265-004-9B256ADC.gif Pretty simple , as a matter of fact .


Why is magnet unable to stick to a stainless steel refrigerator?

If a magnet doesn't stick to a material, that means that the material is non-magnetic. Every individual atom is a magnet, but in a magnetic material, there are groups of atoms (called "magnetic domains") that have their magnetic directions aligned. An outside magnetic field in such materials will align some of the magnetic domains in the direction of the magnetic field.


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

I think it is a magnetic domain but not sure.


Atoms in a magnet are?

aligned in a fixed direction, creating a magnetic field. This alignment allows the magnet to attract or repel other magnets or magnetic materials. The alignment of atoms can be influenced by external magnetic fields or by heat.

What causes an object to exhibit magnetism?

An object exhibits magnetism when its atoms have aligned magnetic fields, creating a magnetic force.


How are the domains of magnet arranged?

Magnetic domains are regions within a magnetic material where the magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned in the same direction. These domains can vary in size and orientation within the material. When the domains are aligned, the material exhibits magnetic properties.
