Options

  1. Alow susceptibility and low retentivity
  2. Bhigh susceptibility and low retentivity
  3. Chigh susceptibility and high retentivity
  4. Dlow susceptibility and high retentivity

Correct answer

B. high susceptibility and low retentivity

Step-by-step solution

Electromagnets are made of soft iron because soft iron has a very high value of susceptibility and low retentitivity.
