Temporary Magnets
A temporary magnet is a material that behaves like a permanent magnet when it is in the presence of a magnetic field but loses its magnetism when the field is removed.
How do Temporary Magnets Work?
Temporary magnets work by aligning the magnetic domains within the material in the presence of a magnetic field. When the external magnetic field is removed, the domains lose their alignment and the material loses its magnetism.
Examples of Temporary Magnets
Some common examples of temporary magnets include:
Uses of Temporary Magnets
Temporary magnets are used in a variety of applications, including:
