Why steel is preferred for making permanent magnet?

Answered by admin @



Steel is preferred for making permanent magnets whereas soft iron is preferred for making electromagnets. Since, steel has a high factor of coercivity, it is preferred for making permanent magnets. Soft iron is used for making electromagnets because of its high permeability and also, hysteresis loop is narrow.
