Question
What is a ‘soft’ magnetic material?###What is meant by a ‘soft’ iron?
✓
Answer
A soft magnetic material, usually iron-based, has high permeability, low retentivity and low coercivity. In other words, it does not have appreciable hysteresis, i.e., its hysteresis loop is very narrow. Such a material magnetizes and demagnetizes more easily, by small external fields.
