If I had a horseshoe-shaped magnet and bent it so that the ends touched – would it lose its magnetism?

Horeshoe magnets always came with a bar that connected both ends?

yes, a keeper. retains magnetism whilst being paramagnetic itself. if you connected the ends it wouldn’t lose its magnetism. maybe.

the reason i say this, and after a bit of thought, is that there is no defined point where N turns to S. cut a horseshoe magnet in half and you will still have a N end and a S end.

Didn’t know hores used hoes. Magnets will lose their magnetism by varuios ways but the strength is retained longer by connecting north to south. Bar magnets are stored with north south touching rather than putting two like poles close together.

Bar magnets usually come in a set of two with the ends connected.

Yes, over time. I have a very old book about magnetism that gives an equation for the rate at which permanent magnets lose their magnetism. The closer a north pole is to a south pole the faster it loses its magmetism.

The equation also compared the rate of loss of magnetism between a horseshoe magnet with a soft iron “keeper” connecting the poles and a horseshoe magnet without a keeper. Until I read that, I had never bothered putting the keeper back. Now I always do. A horseshoe magnet loses its power very much faster (from memory about ten times as fast) without a keeper.

This book. From 1963. I thought it was going to be a boring topic. But it can really be extremely interesting.

OK, if it comes from a battered Pelican book, priced in old money, I guess it must be right.

Nonetheless, it seems strange that magnet life is reduced by bringing the N and S poles closer together, but greatly increased if you actually connect them.

Any idea how that works?

It’s just the vibe but the iron filing map of the magnet after the two poles are brought into contact would be interesting.

On the subject of magnetism…

Consider a long solenoid, with some current flowing. Inside the solenoid, there’s a fairly constant magnetic field, B, along the entire length, which can be easily calculated from the number of turns of wire, diameter of the solenoid, and the current flowing. The magnetic field outside the solenoid, about half way along the solenoid’s length is zero or negligible. This can be demonstrated by passing a beam of electrons past the solenoid and observing the deflection with and without current flow: there’s none.

If the beam of electrons impinges on a double-slit setup, the diffraction pattern changes position according to whether current is flowing in the solenoid: the phase of the electron beam is affected by the magnetic vector potential A, despite the facts that (a) A is not a physical property, and (b) the electrons’ phase is imaginary.

This is the best-known example of the Aharonov–Bohm effect.

Magnetite seems to last pretty well without “keepers” in rocks. I mean, at least hundreds of millions of years (at least) seems reasonably like lasting to me.

Wiki

A magnet keeper, also known historically as an armature, is a paramagnetic bar made from soft iron or steel, which is placed across the poles of a permanent magnet to help preserve the strength of the magnet by completing the magnetic circuit; it is important for magnets that have a low magnetic coercivity, such as alnico magnets.

Keepers also have a useful safety function, as they stop external metal being attracted to the magnet.

Most magnets do not need a keeper, only those with low coercivity, meaning that they are easily susceptible to stray fields.

A magnet can be considered as the sum of many little magnetic domains, which may only be a few microns or smaller in size. Each domain carries its own small magnetic field, which can point in any direction. When all the domains are pointing in the same direction, the fields add, yielding a strong magnet. When these all point in random directions, they cancel each other, and the net magnetic field is zero.

In magnets with low coercivity, the direction in which the magnetic domains are pointing is easily swayed by external fields, such as the Earth’s magnetic field or perhaps by the stray fields caused by flowing currents in a nearby electrical circuit. Given enough time, such magnets may find their domains randomly oriented, and hence their net magnetization greatly weakened. A keeper for low-coercivity magnets is just a strong permanent magnet that keeps all the domains pointing the same way and realigns those that may have gone astray.

Why would I bother explaining something that most of you should know quite well?

I’ve been repeatedly told that I know nothing or that I’m either totally incorrect or way off the beam.

Yet in many instances nobody else explains why. If I pose an answer to look like a question then surely by asking yourself the same question you will believe that you thought of the answer and therefore had no reason to attack me.

I’ll ask another question. How to demagnetize a magnet?

All magnets will lose their magnetism eventually as the electrons lose their alignment. The keeper as you rightly noticed, keeps the north and south poles connected to slow this process down.

Good to see you have now done some reading. Nowhere did I say I knew. I look for pages that may explain things. Then I form an opinion. I even say “maybe” etc. If you actually know then why not post that info? Coming in later and saying you know comes across as bullshit on your part.

I don’t care how I come across to you. You are a bully and I treat you that way. Always have. If you can prove you aren’t, I’ll change my game.

I didn’t have to read about magnets any more than i didn’t have to read about metrics when we adopted the metric system. I was already doing all this stuff with watchmaking. But I’ve been interested in magnets since I was a little kid.

I didn’t say I know any stuff before anyone else.

I only pointed out that I mentioned that I knew stuff about magnets, early on.
I still reckon that you are using bullying because you didn’t actually know. The simple answer was no.
All magnets will lose their magnetism eventually as the electrons lose their alignment. The keeper as you rightly noticed, keeps the north and south poles connected to slow this process down.

Good to see you have now done some reading. Nowhere did I say I knew. I look for pages that may explain things. Then I form an opinion. I even say “maybe” etc. If you actually know then why not post that info? Coming in later and saying you know comes across as bullshit on your part. And your “why should i bother explaining things…” etc doesn’t wash. But this is typical of you. The ancients know, shit.

I don’t care how I come across to you. You are a bully and I treat you that way. Always have. If you can prove you aren’t, I’ll change my game.

LOL. You aren’t just posting for me but to try and put up info for everyone who reads this forum. To limit it to me shows you just don’t get it.

When did we go metric?

Well after I became an apprentice watchmaker. I finished mid seventies. so hazard a guess at 1974?

Metrication was not instantaneous in Australia. It occurred from 1970 to 1977.

Fortunately they’d stopped using Imperial in schools before I went to school.

Metric money came in in 1966.


No. That was decimal currency.

Yes Boris. You are doing the same. I’ll say it again. Get a real argument and stop sledging.

I had already started, but only a fortnight or so before.

I didn’t need to add the info. My walked like a duck question was good enough to answer the OP. You have waffled around looking stuff up ands still haven’t explained it any where near as eloquently enough yet you choose to pretend that I answered with a question rather than info.

You haven’t mentioned hammering the magnet or discussing placing it in a reversed magnetic field.

The easiest way to lose magnetism is to leave it alone for a very very long time. No work involved.

Well I was at a Catholic school so a tad later than you.

In watchmaking, almost everything has to be demagnetized constantly. We do this with a reversed magnetic field. Magic.

and as for curie heat. This varies as you may imagine with all ferrous metals. Depending of course as much as anything about the mass of electrons requiring rearranging.

If I had a horseshoe-shaped magnet and bent it so that the ends touched – would it lose its magnetism?

Eventually but it would not be about your bending effort.

magnetism is about stuff being in alignment, the “domains” being in alignment, if you unbent a horse shoe magnet it becomes a bar magnet, bend it so it touches means that just like the bar magnet and horseshoe the same “domains” are in alignment and the magnetic field just runs internally rather than expanding out into the space around it like a bar magnet or horseshoe magnet.

heat and vibration destroy magnetism as it breaks up the alignment of the “domains”

the magnetic field becomes noticeable when the field leaves the material to expand into space to join with itself
