COMEDK · Physics · 20. Magnetic Properties of Matter

The material selected for making a permanent magnet should have:

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) High coercivity, high permeability and high retentivity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a material to be used as a permanent magnet, it must possess the following properties: High retentivity: This ensures that the magnet is strong and retains a large amount of magnetization even after the external magnetizing field is removed. High coercivity: This ensures…
