Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are domains like?
A
auroras
B
molecules
C
iron filings
D
tiny magnets
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The magnetic strength and orientation, also called the magnetic moments, of the individual atoms in such a domain are aligned with one another and all point in the same direction. It’s those special domains that can turn the material into a magnet. Every electron is a teeny tiny magnet.

Detailed explanation-2: -In ferromagnetic materials, the atoms form structures called domains. A domain is a region inside of a material where groups of magnetic moments naturally align in the same direction.

Detailed explanation-3: -Magnetic domains form in materials which have magnetic ordering; that is, their dipoles spontaneously align due to the exchange interaction. These are the ferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic and antiferromagnetic materials.

Detailed explanation-4: -Magnetic domains. Magnets are made from magnetic materials such as iron or steel. Magnetic materials can be magnetized because they are made up of tiny regions called magnetic domains. Just like a magnet, a magnetic domain has a north pole and a south pole.

Detailed explanation-5: -Electrons have an intrinsic property, called spin. Because they have spin, they have a magnetic moment, similar to a small current loop. Electrons by themselves act like tiny magnets.
