MCQ
Permanent magnets should have:
  • A
    High retentivity and low coercivity.
  • B
    Low retentivity and high coercivity.
  • C
    High retentivity and high coercivity.
  • D
    Low retentivity and low coercivity.

Answer

  1. High retentivity and high coercivity.

Explanation:

Permanent magnets should have high retentivity so that a strong magnetic field persists on removal of magnetic field.

Permanent magnets should have high coercivity so that external magnetic field in opposite direction cannot easily demagnetize the magnet.
