Electromagnets are made of soft iron because soft iron has

  1. low retentivity and high coercive force
  2. high retentivity and high coercive force
  3. low retentivity and low coercive force
  4. high retentivity and low coercive force

Answer

(3) low retentivity and low coercive force

Solution

An electromagnet must become magnetised when current flows and lose its magnetism as soon as the current is switched off.

It needs a narrow hysteresis loop: low retentivity and low coercivity (and high permeability).

As per NCERT, soft iron, with its narrow hysteresis loop, low retentivity and low coercivity, is a suitable material for electromagnets.

Answer: (3)

A vibration magnetometer placed in magnetic meridian has a small bar magnet. The magnet executes oscillations with a time period of 2 s in earth's horizontal magnetic field of 24 microtesla. When a horizontal field of 18 microtesla is produced opposite to the earth's field by placing a current carrying wire, the new time period of magnet will be

  1. 1 s
  2. 2 s
  3. 3 s
  4. 4 s

  4. repelled by both the poles
