Why does a magnet loses its magnetism when it is strongly heated or hammered?
A magnet is an alignment of particles in a solid. You can imagine a magnet as a bunch of tiny magnets that are all pointing in the same direction. When they point in the same direction, the little parts add up, and the magnet works like you'd expect. When you heat or hammer a magnet, the little magnetic parts can get jostled and unaligned. When that alignment is disturbed, they no longer point in the same direction and may even cancel other magnetic parts out, weakening and eventualy destroying the magnetism.
