DEPERM Meaning and Definition

  1. Deperm (verb) is a technical term typically used in the field of electronics or magnetism. It refers to the process of demagnetizing or removing residual magnetism from a material or an object that has become magnetized or subjected to a magnetic field.

    The term "deperm" is a combination of the words "de-" (indicating removal or reversal) and "perm" (short for "permanent magnetism"). When an object is magnetized due to exposure to magnetic fields, it may retain some level of magnetization even after the magnetic field is removed. This residual magnetism can interfere with the functionality of electronic devices, sensitive equipment, or even magnetic media, leading to issues such as data corruption, signal distortions, or improper functioning.

    The deperming process typically involves subjecting the magnetized object to a varying magnetic field that gradually decreases in strength. This changing magnetic field causes the magnetic domains within the material to realign, effectively neutralizing the magnetization and returning the object to its original unmagnetized state.

    Deperming is commonly employed in various applications, including the demagnetization of ships or submarines, which become magnetized due to the presence of strong magnetic fields such as Earth's magnetism or the magnetic fields generated by onboard equipment. By deperming these vessels, the chance of triggering magnetic mines or affecting compasses is significantly reduced.

    Overall, "deperm" refers to the process of removing residual magnetism, restoring an object to its original magnetically neutral state.

Etymology of DEPERM

The word "deperm" is a combination of the prefix "de-" which means "reverse" or "undo", and "perm" which is short for "permanent" referring to a process related to hair treatment. Therefore, "deperm" can be understood as reversing or undoing a permanent hair treatment.
