Define:
(1) retentivity
(2) coercivity.

Answer

1. Retentivity : The residual magnetic flux density or magnetization in a magnetic material when the magnetizing field intensity is reduced to zero is called retentivity or remanence.
2. Coercivity: The reversed magnetizing field strength required to reduce the remanent magnetic flux density or magnetization in a magnetic material from its remanent value to zero, i.e, to demagnetize the magnetic material completely, is

Two identical metal beads, each of mass $M$ but negligible width, can slide along a thin smooth uniform horizontal rod of mass $M$ and length $L$. The rod is capable of rotating about a vertical axis passing through its centre. Initially, the beads are almost touching the axis of rotation and the rod is rotating at speed of $14 \mathrm{rad} / \mathrm{s}$. Find the angular speed of the system when the beads have moved up to the ends of the rod. (Assume that no external torque acts on the system.)
