Ans : Demagnetization:
The process or method by which a magnet loses its power is called demagnetization.
Ways to demagnetize a magnet :Magnet can be demagnetized when,
i- Dropped repeatedly

 An iron nail can be turned into a magnet by passing an electric current around it , such a magnet
is known as an electromagnet.
V-How can you increase the strength of an electromagnet?

repulsion to explain how this is done?
Ans: A special toy train is able to float above its track because train and track contain powerful
electromagnets. The bottom of the train and the track, face the same poles. Similar poles repel
each other and this technology is used in Maglev train.
VIII-How do we know that the earth is a magnet?
