Identify the methods by which a magnet can be demagnetized.

  1. Heating a magnet strongly

  2. Repeated hammering of the magnet

  3. Storing it aligned with the N-S direction

  4. None of these


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

Methods by which a magnet can be demagnetized can be given as mentioned below: 
$(1)$ Heating a magnet strongly
$(2)$ Hammering the magnet several times or repeated hammering
$(3)$ By passing an alternating current through the magnet
Hence, the correct options $(A)$ and $(B)$.

A permanent magnet can lose its magnetism with time 

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:
Yes permanent magnet can lose its magnetism in following cases
i) Heating up to certain temperature
ii) Low coercivity and wrong storage.
iii)Energy transfer them by shock.

When the north pole of a bar magnet picks up an iron nail which of the following are induced in the nail ?

  1. North poles

  2. South poles

  3. A north pole and south pole

  4. None of these


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

As the attraction occurs only in between two unlike poles, thus north pole of magnet induces south pole in the nail and north at the other end.

The force with which a magnet attracts objects like iron is called Magnetic force.

  1. True

  2. False


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Magnetic force

All magnetic materials lose their magnetic properties when:

  1. Dipped in water

  2. Dipped in oil

  3. Brought near a piece of iron

  4. Strongly heated


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
Curie- Temperature:
The temperature at which any magnetic field material loses its magnetic property which is at a much higher temperature thus being strongly heated,
Magnets can be demagnetized.

Which all things can be used to make a magnet?

  1. Iron nail

  2. Needle

  3. Blade

  4. Wood


Correct Option: A,B,C
Explanation:

Materials that can be magnetized, which are also the ones that are strongly attracted to a magnet, are called ferromagnetic (or ferrimagnetic). These include iron, nickel, cobalt, some alloys of rare-earth metals, and some naturally occurring minerals such as lodestone.

A magnet can be easily turned into a ______ by excessive heating. Fill in the blank.

  1. Electromagnet

  2. Permanent Magnet

  3. Temporary Magnet

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

A magnet can be easily turned into a permanent magnet by excessive heating.

Rock of material which attract is termed as

  1. magnet

  2. magnetite

  3. magnesia

  4. magnetic


Correct Option: B

Which of the following process are used to make a magnet?

  1. Casting of magnetic material

  2. Pressing and sintering of magnetic material

  3. Extruding of magnetic material

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Casting of a magnetic material, pressing and sintering of magnetic material and extruding of magnetic material are the processes used for making permanent magnets.

Which of the following cannot be used to make a magnet?

  1. Cobalt

  2. Iron

  3. Ebonite

  4. Steel


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Iron, cobalt and steel are ferromagnetic materials which can be used to make magnet but ebonite cannot be used to make magnets.

______ is the only natural magnet. Fill in the blank.

  1. Magnetite

  2. Ebonite

  3. Cobalt

  4. Nickel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Among the following options, magnetite is the only natural magnet.

A substance consisting of a coil of wire with an iron core and is only magnetized when an electric current flows through it is called :

  1. Magnet

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Coil

  4. Battery


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The phenomenon of converting a substance into a magnet by flowing an electric current through a coil around it is known as electromagnetism and the magnet so formed is known as electromagnet.

All magnetic materials lose their magnetic properties when :

  1. Dipped in water

  2. Dipped in oil

  3. Brought near a piece of iron

  4. Strongly heated


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
All the magnetic material lose their magnetic properties when strongly heated.
Every magnetic materials have a temperature called the curle point; above which they will lose their magnetism.
OPTION : D.

Magnets lose their properties if :

  1. A.C. is passed through them

  2. heated strongly

  3. dropped from a height

  4. all of the above


Correct Option: A,B
Explanation:

When a magnet is treated above 176℉ (80)℃ magnet will quickly loose their magnetic properties. The magnet will become permanently demagnetized if exposed to those temperatures for a certain length of time.

By passing an alternating current the magnetic property can be removed because the alternating current produces a reverse magnetizing field which opposes the object magnetism.

 

A.  Ferromagnetic materials will lose their magnetism if heated above a point known as the Curie temperature.
B. You would have to re-magnetize the magnet again, either in a solenoid or with another permanent magnet, in order to restore the magnetism.
C. If you heat a magnet up a little bit, it will lose some of its magnetism, but on returning to room temperature full magnetism can be restored. 
Which among the following is/are true?

  1. Only A

  2. Both A and B

  3. Only C

  4. All A, B and C


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

All the three statements are true that the ferromagnetic materials lose their magnetism on heating above the Curie temperature,

The magnet has to re-magnetized with another magnet or solenoid to restore its magnetism and the magnetism of the magnet is fully recovered when it is kept at room temperature after heating.

By which of the following activity, a magnet can loose its property?

  1. Excess of heating

  2. Demagnetizing magnetic field

  3. Sudden shock

  4. All of the above


Correct Option: D
Explanation:
A magnet shows magnetic behavior because of the presence of domains which are specific formations consisting of electrons which exhibit magnetic behavior.
By all these actions, all the arranged magnetic domains which exhibit magnetic property due to their specific arrangement get rearranged and that specific formation of magnetic domain which is responsible for its magnetic behavior is destroyed.
And hence the magnet will loose its magnetic behavior.

A mixture of iron and nickel can be easily magnetized, even in a weak field. Which results in the formation of a ________. Fill in the blank.

  1. Permanent Magnet

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Temporary Magnet

  4. None of the above


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A mixture of iron and nickel is magnetized by applying an external magnetic field. This convert the mixture into a temporary magnet for the time when the field has been applied.

A magnet can induce magnetism in

  1. brass

  2. aluminium

  3. glass

  4. steel


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

As the magnet can include the magnetism is femo magnetic materials.

Only, Brass is a I.M material.

Soft iron pieces are placed across the ends of bar magnets when stored. Such pieces are called :

  1. preservatives

  2. keepers

  3. compasses

  4. poles


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Soft iron pieces are placed across the ends of bar magnets when stored; such pieces are called magnetic keepers. If the two magnets are placed side by side there will be mutual repulsion or attraction that weakens the magnetic strength. So magnets are placed side by side with opposite poles near to each other.
