The hysteresis curve for the material of permanent magnet should be:

The hysteresis curve for the material of permanent magnet should be: Correct Answer Tall and wide

CONCEPT:

Permanent magnet:

  • Substances that at room temperature retain their ferromagnetic property for a long period of time are called permanent magnets.
  • Permanent magnets can be made in the following ways:
    1. By holding an iron rod in the north-south direction and hammer it repeatedly.
    2. By holding a steel rod and stroke it with one end of a bar magnet a large number of times.
    3. An efficient way to make a permanent magnet is to place a ferromagnetic rod in a solenoid and pass a current.
  • The hysteresis curve allows us to select suitable materials for permanent magnets.
  • The hysteresis curve should be tall and wide for the material that is used to make a permanent magnet.
  • The material that is used to make a permanent magnet should have high retentivity and high coercivity.
  • Steel is a one-favored choice to make a permanent magnet.
  • Other suitable materials for permanent magnets are alnico and cobalt steel.


EXPLANATION:

  • The material that is used to make a permanent magnet should have high retentivity and high coercivity.
  • So the hysteresis curve should be tall and wide for the material that is used to make a permanent magnet. Hence, option 1 is correct.
