MCQ
If the magnetizing field on a ferromagnetic material is increased, its permeability
  • decreased
  • B
    increased
  • C
    is unaffected
  • D
    may be increased or decreased

Answer

Correct option: A.
decreased
a
(a)

The magnetic permeability of a substance is defined as

$\mu=\frac{B}{H}$

where $B$ is the established magnetic field inside the material, $H$ is the applied external magnetic field.

When the external applied magnetic field $H$ is increased, the established magnetic field for a ferromagnetic material remains the same. Thus the magnetic permeability decreases.
