Momentary vs. Permanent Magnetism on an Atomic Level?

Question

What's the difference on the atomic level between momentary magnetism and permanent magnetism in ferromagnetic materials?

Answer 1

There is relatively no difference at the atomic level. The differences are at the structural level either as crystals or the next step up at the magnetic domain level. In momentary magnetism, the domain structures permit magnetic alignment easily, but also permit it to unalign easily also. In permanent magentism, the domains and crystal structure lock in the magnetic orientation once set - usually by heating the material and cooling in a magentic field in the natural world.

Answer 2

they are at their highest and most combustible when in the permanent state but he influx of the other could totally be more powerful than either alone
