The \(B-H\) curve for a ferromagnet is shown in the figure. The ferromagnet is placed inside a long solenoid with \(1000\, turns/cm\) . The current that should be passed in the solenoid to demagnetise the ferromagnet completely is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) \(1\,mA\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Given Number of turns,
\(\mathrm{n}=1000\) \(turns/\)\(\mathrm{cm}=1000 \times 100\) \(turns\) \(/ \mathrm{m}\)
Coercivity of ferromagnet. \(\mathrm{H}=100 \,\mathrm{A} / \mathrm{m}\)
Current to demagnetise the ferromagnet, \(I=?\)
Using, \(H=n I\)
or, \(\quad 100=10^{5} \times I\)
\(\therefore \mathrm{I}=\frac{100}{10^{5}}=1\, \mathrm{mA}\)
