One student has to make an electromagnet using a coil of copper wire. He needs a ferromagnetic material to make its core. This core material should have

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) High permeability, low retentivity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For an electromagnet, the core material must be able to generate a strong magnetic field and then lose its magnetism almost instantly when the current is switched off. This requires high permeability to easily magnetize and low retentivity so it doesn't stay magnetized.
