The $B-H$ curve for a ferromagnet is shown in the figure. The ferromagnet is placed inside a long solenoid with $1000 \text{ turns/cm}$. The current that should be passed in the solenoid to demagnetize the ferromagnet completely is

  • A
    $2 \text{ mA}$
  • B
    $1 \text{ mA}$
  • C
    $40 \text{ } \mu\text{A}$
  • D
    $20 \text{ } \mu\text{A}$

Which of the following is represented by the area enclosed by a hysteresis loop?

The figure shows the experimentally measured $B$ vs. $H$ variation in a ferromagnetic material. The retentivity,coercivity,and saturation of the material are,respectively:

The energy dissipated per unit volume per cycle in the hysteresis of an iron sample of mass $10 \, kg$ is $200 \, J \, m^{-3} \, cycle^{-1}$. The density of iron is $7500 \, kg \, m^{-3}$. The loss of energy per hour at $50 \, cycle \, s^{-1}$ is: (in $J$)

Hysteresis loops for two magnetic materials $A$ and $B$ are given below. These materials are used to make magnets for electric generators,transformer cores,and electromagnet cores. Then it is proper to use:
