1. the process of removing magnetic properties from a magnetized object or material
Usage: commonly used in physics and engineering contexts

Examples

• The demagnetization of the iron bar was achieved by heating it above its Curie temperature.
• Demagnetization can occur naturally when a magnet is exposed to strong vibrations or extreme heat.
• The technician used an alternating current to perform demagnetization of the metal components.
• Demagnetization is essential in recycling processes to safely handle previously magnetized materials.
• The compass lost its accuracy due to accidental demagnetization from nearby electrical equipment.
• Scientists studied the demagnetization effects on the ancient pottery to understand its magnetic history.
