Answer
Permanent Magnets: The magnets prepared from ferromagnetic materials which retain their magnetic properties for a long time are called permanent magnets. An efficient way to make a permanent magnet is to place a ferromagnetic rod in a solenoid and pass a current. The magnetic field of the solenoid magnetises the rod.
The materials used for permanent magnet must have the following characteristic properties:
The materials used for permanent magnet must have the following characteristic properties:
- High retentivity so that the magnet may cause strong magnetic field.
- High coercivity so that the magnetisation is not wiped out by strong external fields, mechanical ill-treatment and temperature changes. The loss due to hysteresis is immaterial because the magnet in this case is never put to cyclic changes.
