Store your magnets in pairs – Keep magnets in pairs to avoid both north and south sides from touching. Both poles of the same alignment should never be allowed to touch, as this will cause the magnetic fields to repel and cause the magnets to weaken over time.
Keeping this in view, do magnets need keepers?
Many magnets do not need a keeper, such as supermagnets, as they have very high coercivities; only those with lower coercivities, meaning that they are more susceptible to stray fields, require keepers.
Similarly one may ask, how can you protect a magnet from demagnetization?
Store with a keeper
Store your magnet with a keeper on the two magnetic poles. A keeper is a piece of iron that is temporarily added between the north and south poles of a magnet to prevent it from demagnetising. If a keeper is not provided with your magnet then store your magnets on a steel sheet.
How should we care for magnets Class 6?
Why do we care for a magnet?
Magnets should be handled and stored with care in order not to lose their magnetic properties. 2. Magnets should not be hammered because it can lead to loss of magnetic effects. They are also brittle, so will crack or break easily.
