MCQ
Which of the following, the most suitable material for making permanent magnet is
  • Steel
  • B
    Soft iron
  • C
    Copper
  • D
    Nickel

Answer

Correct option: A.
Steel
a
Steel is the most suitable material for making a permanent magnet because it has high retentivity and high coercivity. Steel remains magnetized for a long time even after an external magnetic field is removed, and it needs a lot of energy to demagnetize.
