Question
Explain hard ferromagnetic and soft ferromagnetic materials.
✓
Answer
→In some ferromagnetic materials, the magnetisation persists even when the external field is removed. Such materials are called hard ferro magnetic materials (or hard ferro magnets.) Example : Alnico, an alloy of iron, aluminium, nickel cobalt and copper is one such material.
→ Naturally occurring lode stone is also one such material.
→Such materials form permanent magnets to be used in other things as compass needle.
→The ferromagnetic materials in which magnetisation disappears on removal of external field, are called soft ferromagnetic. Example : Soft iron.

Spring fitted doors close by themselves when released. You want to keep the door open for a long time, say for an hour. If you put a half kg stone in front of the open door, it does not help. The stone slides with the door and the door gets closed. However, if you sandwitch a 20g piece of wood in the small gap between the door and the floor, the door stays open. Explain why a much lighter piece of wood is able to keep the door open while the heavy stone fails.
