The core of electromagnets are made of ferromagnetic material like soft iron because the soft iron has-

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) High permeability and low retentivity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

High permeability allows the soft iron to be easily and strongly magnetized by a small current. Low retentivity ensures that the core loses its magnetism almost immediately once the current is switched off, which is essential for an electromagnet to function properly. B) High…
