Question 7 • Physics

A magnetically soft material is placed in a strong magnetic field. What is the most likely outcome?

Answer
A
It will become a permanent magnet because the domains will remain aligned.
B
It will become a temporary magnet because the domains will easily realign.
C
It will become a temporary magnet because the domains will remain aligned.
D
It will become a permanent magnet because the domains will easily realign.

Explanation

A magnetically soft material has domains that can realign easily when an external magnetic field is applied. Once the field is removed, those domains do not stay aligned well, so the material is most likely to act as a temporary magnet. The correct choice is “It will become a temporary magnet because the domains will easily realign.”
