MCQ
The narrowest hysterisis loop is for:
  • A
    Cobalt steel
  • B
    Almico
  • C
    Soft magnetic material
  • D
    Stainless steel

Answer

  1. Soft magnetic material

Explanation:

A narrow hysteresis loop implies a small amount of dissipated energy. This occurs as a result of its small area and therefore more frequently repeated reversals of applied magnetising force. Soft magnetic are materials used in devices that require alternating magnetic fields have these narrow hysteresis shapes.
