Which of the following is desirable for making permanent magnets?

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

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) High coercive field and high retentivity

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The material used for making permanent magnet must have high retentivity, so that it produces a strong magnetic field and must have high coercivity, so that its magnetisation is not destroyed by stray magnetic fields, temperature variations or minor mechanical damage.
