Given below are two statements; one is labeled as Assertion A and the other is labeled as Reason R.

Assertion (A) : Electromagnets are made of soft iron.

Reason (R) : soft iron has high permeability and low retentivity.

In the light of above, statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

View answer and explanation

Correct option: B

Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A

Option B (Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A) is correct because soft iron's high permeability allows easy magnetization, and low retentivity allows easy demagnetization, making it ideal for electromagnets.

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
