Magnetic materials used for making permanent magnets P and magnets in a transformer T have different properties of the following, which property best matches for the type of magnet required?
Options
- AT   : Large retentivity, small coercivity
- BP   : small retentivity, large coercivity
- CT   : Large retentivity, large coercivity
- DP : large retentivity, large coercivity
Correct answer
D. P : large retentivity, large coercivity
Step-by-step solution
As per the properties of Magnetic substances, materials favorable for permanent magnets should have high retentivity, large coercivity and high permeability.
