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 are domains arranged in a magnetic object?

Without magnetic domains a magnet wouldn't have its magnetism. Magnetic domains are clusters of iron atoms that line up in the smae direction when magnetised. When unmagnitized the iron atoms scatter.

How are atoms arranged in an iron?

The atoms in an iron are arranged in way were they are not able to slide, there are bigger and smaller atoms. This makes the iron hard.


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.


What happens inside a permanent magnet?

Inside a permanent magnet, the atoms are arranged in a specific alignment that creates a magnetic field. This alignment is maintained due to the magnetic properties of the material, such as iron or neodymium. When an external magnetic field is applied, the alignment of the atoms in the magnet may be temporarily disturbed but will return to its original state once the external field is removed.

No, diamonds are not attracted to magnets because they are not magnetic materials. Diamonds are made of carbon atoms arranged in a crystal lattice structure that does not exhibit magnetic properties.

How many atoms are in a magnet?

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.


Can a magnet not be magnetic?

if it truly is a magnet, than no. however, you can demagnetize a magnet by dropping it or hitting it really hard to rearrange the domains within the magnet. Domains are the regions within a magnet that have particles that are either arranged so that the poles are attracted to each other or randomly arranged so that the particles are not magnetized at all. so if it is a magnet... it probably will be magnetic unless you take your anger out on it or something.
