Demagnetization of magnets can be done by
Correct answer: D. All of the above
- A. Rough handling
- B. Heating
- C. Magnetizing in the opposite direction
- D. All of the above
Explanation
Demagnetisation of a magnet can occur through various methods that disrupt the alignment of its magnetic domains. Rough handling can physically jar the magnetic domains out of alignment. Heating increases atomic vibrations, which disrupts the orderly alignment of magnetic domains. Magnetising in the opposite direction directly counteracts the existing magnetic alignment. Therefore, all the provided methods can lead to demagnetisation, making Option D: All of the above the correct answer. Each of the other options only represents one aspect of demagnetisation, but all are valid methods.

About Physics of Solids
Solids are compared through crystal structure, amorphous arrangement, elasticity, plastic deformation, stress, strain and Young’s modulus. Electrical behavior depends on available charge carriers and band structure, so conductors, insulators and semiconductors must be distinguished from mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness and brittleness.
