Which of the following is most suitable for the core of electromagnets

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

Soft iron

Option A (Soft iron) is correct because soft iron is a highly ferromagnetic material with high permeability and low retentivity, making it ideal for electromagnet cores.

Curie temperature is the one above which A vibration magnetometer consists of two identical bar magnets placed one over the other such that they are perpendicular and bisect each other. The time period of oscillation in a horizontal magnetic field is

{2^{5/4}}

s. One of the magnets is removed and if the other magnet oscillates in the same field , then the time period in second is The relative permeability of a substance

X

is slightly less than unity and that of substance

Y

is slightly more than unity, then A bar magnet is equivalent to If the magnetic dipole moment of an atom of diamagnetic material, paramagnetic material and ferromagnetic material are denoted by

\mu_{\mathrm{d}}, \mu_{\mathrm{p}}

and

\mu_{\mathrm{f}}

respectively, then :- Electromagnets are made of soft iron because soft iron has
