WE're usign a steel ball bearing for our physics rollercoaster project, and we happened to store the ball ontop of a decently strong magnet over the course of a few nights, and we believe that the ball is magnetized because the ball slows down at parts of our rollercoaster where there is any steel wiring that ties/supports the tubing.
So basically we need to know how to discharge the ball, if it is at all possible that the ball HAS become magnetized. (We also removed some wires where the ball was stopping, and suddenly it could go much further, so that supports the theory) ... You tell us, can we discahrge it?
