Question

Soft iron is preferred as the core of a transformer in the form of sheets due to its (A) Low retentivity, low coercivity and low hysteresis loss (B) High retentivity, high coercivity and low hysteresis loss (C) Low retentivity, low coercivity and high hysteresis loss (D) Low retentivity, high coercivity and high hysteresis loss

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

Soft iron are the ferromagnetic materials in which magnetisation disappears on the removal the external magnetising field. Hence, they have low retentivity, low coercivity and low hysteresis.

Low retentivity, low coercivity and low hysteresis loss

High retentivity, high coercivity and low hysteresis loss

Low retentivity, low coercivity and high hysteresis loss

Low retentivity, high coercivity and high hysteresis loss
