JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 5. Magnetism and matter

A soft ferromagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field. The magnetic domains:

  1. A increase in size but no change in orientation.
  2. B have no relation with external magnetic field.
  3. C decrease in size and changes orientation.
  4. D may increase or decrease in size and change its orientation.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) may increase or decrease in size and change its orientation.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Soft ferromagnetic materials are materials which can be easily magnetised and demagnetised by external magnetic field. When external field is applied, the domains experiences a net torque hence change its orientation.
