Which mechanism disrupts programmed magnetic alignment permanently in tape drives?

💡 Explanation

Exceeding the Curie temperature randomizes magnetic domains because at that point thermal energy overcomes ferromagnetic exchange interactions. Therefore alignment is permanently lost, rather than a bias current issue or simple mechanical flaw which can be fixed.
