Material of permanent magnet has
Options
- Ahigh retentivity and high coercivity
- Blow retentivity and high coercivity
- Clow retentivity and low coercivity
- Dhigh retentivity and low coercivity
Correct answer
A. high retentivity and high coercivity
Step-by-step solution
Permanent magnet should have high retentivity to persist magnetism on removal of magnetic field. It should also have high coercivity, so that the magnetism is not lost by external magnetic field.
