Question 16

A strongly magnetized steel rod is positioned inside a long solenoid. A large alternating current (a.c.\text{a.c.}a.c.) is switched on in the solenoid. The steel rod is then slowly drawn out of the solenoid until it is completely clear of the magnetic field of the coil.

Identify the final magnetic state of the steel rod, and explain this result in terms of its magnetic domains.
