Magnets and Magnetism

Question 5 • Crowley Credit Recovery Physics B

A magnetically soft material is placed in a strong magnetic field.

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

Explanation

A magnetically soft material has domains that easily realign with an applied magnetic field. When the field is removed, they do not stay aligned well, so the material acts as a temporary magnet; this matches “domains will easily realign.”
