A magnetically soft material is placed in a strong magnetic field. What is the most likely outcome?
a. It will become a permanent magnet because the domains will remain aligned.
b. It will become a temporary magnet because the domains will remain aligned.
c. It will become a permanent magnet because the domains will easily realign.
d. It will become a temporary magnet because the domains will easily realign.

Those substances that can be permanently magnetized are identified as magnetic hard. These may be alloys of iron, nickel, and cobalt. when they are placed in the magnetic field for a long time then their domains aligned themselves in the direction of the applied magnetic field and remain aligned even after the removal of the magnetic field

While those substances that can be temporarily magnetized are termed as magnetically soft materials. Alloys with a low percentage of iron, cobalt and nickel fall under this category.

So when soft material is placed in the magnetic field it gets temporarily magnetized because domains will easily realign themselves and again get randomized after the removal of the magnetic field.

Answer:

D) It will become a temporary magnet because the domains will easily realign.

Explanation:

Magnetically soft materials are objects that can easily be magnetized, but the magnetic field can easily be reversed or turned on/off. These magnetic fields are not stable, unlike those that can be made with magnetically hard counterparts. Electromagnets are magnetically soft. For the situation given above, the last choice is the correct one. The domains will easily realign for the material, but since it is magnetically soft, then it is only categorized as a temporary magnet and not a permanent one.
