If iron is a ferromagnetic metal, why don't all pieces of iron act as permanent magnets? A Some iron atoms have no intrinsic magnetic moment. B Once a piece of iron has been heated to the point that it loses its magnetism, it can never become a magnet again. C The statement of the question is false: all pieces of iron do act as permanent magnets. D In the absence of an external magnetic field, the magnetic domains in a piece of iron are oriented in random directions, so their magnetic moments cancel out and the overall magnetic moment of the entire piece is effectively zero.
