Meaning
Magnetic domains are regions in the magnet with a particular direction of magnetisation, each of which act as smaller magnets.

 |
| When magnetic domains are aligned the object has an external magnetic field so it acts like a magnet. | When the magnetic domains are not aligned there is no external magnetic field because the effect of the magnetic domains cancels out. |
