I hate to do this, but I have to disagree with the answers I've read so far. While heat and a magnetic field may not be related, heat does change magnetism. More specifically a magnet exposed to heat will lose its' magnetism because of the heat. This is especially true with rare earth magnets (which are so powerful some can actually crush a finger if caught between two magnets). BTW, rare earth magnets are the ones used on your computers hard drive.

Heat will not affect a magnetic field. However, heat WILL affect a magnet, by allowing the magnetic domains to get out of alignment. Sufficient heat will make the magnet a non-magnet. Heat cannot reverse the field of a magnet.

No. Heat has no effect on a magnetic field.
Heat can change the magnetic properties of a material, though.

Heat and magnetism are not related at all.
