Likewise, people ask, how are magnetic domains aligned?
Ferromagnetic materials become magnetized whenthemagnetic domains within the material arealigned.This can be done by placing the material in a strongexternalmagnetic field or by passing electrical currentthrough thematerial. Some or all of the domains canbecomealigned.
In this way, how are the magnetic domains arranged in a magnetic material?
Magnetic Domains. Inferromagneticmaterials, smaller groups of atoms bandtogether into areascalled domains, in which all theelectrons have the samemagnetic orientation. In mostmaterials, atoms arearranged in such a way that themagnetic orientationof one electron cancels out theorientation ofanother.
The more domains point in the same direction,thestronger the overall field. Each domain'smagneticfield extends from its north pole into the south poleof thedomain ahead of it. In a magnet, most or all ofthedomains point in the same direction.
