Question
How do you account for the following fact?
Bar magnets lose their magnetism when heated strongly.
Solution
Bar magnets lose their magnetism when heated strongly. Due to heat energy, the kinetic energy of the molecules of a barg magnet increases. Thus from straight-line molecular chains, they form closed molecular chains, and hence, magnetism is lost.
