When an object is to be demagnetized, its molecules must be disarranged as they are in a nonmagnetized material.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Demagnetization involves randomizing the alignment of the magnetic domains in the material, disrupting its magnetic field. This is achieved by applying an alternating current or heating the material above its Curie temperature to cause the atoms to lose their magnetization. As a result, the molecules become disarranged, similar to those in a nonmagnetized material.
