Material of permanent magnet has

  1. A high retentivity and high coercivity
  2. B low retentivity and high coercivity
  3. C low retentivity and low coercivity
  4. D high retentivity and low coercivity
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) high retentivity and high coercivity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Permanent magnet should have high retentivity to persist magnetism on removal of magnetic field. It should also have high coercivity, so that the magnetism is not lost by external magnetic field.
