The magnet can be completely demagnetized by

Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ Explain qualitatively on the basis of the domain picture the irreversibility in the magnetisation curve of a ferromagnet.
$(b)$ The hysteresis loop of a soft iron piece has a much smaller area than that of a carbon steel piece. If the material is to go through repeated cycles of magnetisation,which piece will dissipate greater heat energy?
$(c)$ '$A$ system displaying a hysteresis loop such as a ferromagnet,is a device for storing memory?' Explain the meaning of this statement.
$(d)$ What kind of ferromagnetic material is used for coating magnetic tapes in a cassette player,or for building 'memory stores' in a modern computer?
$(e)$ $A$ certain region of space is to be shielded from magnetic fields. Suggest a method.

$A$ bar magnet has a coercivity of $4 \times 10^3 \, A/m$. It is desired to demagnetize it by inserting it inside a solenoid $12 \, cm$ long and having $60$ turns. The current that should be sent through the solenoid is... (in $, A$)

The only property possessed by ferromagnetic substances is

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 $J$)

For substances,hysteresis $(B-H)$ curves are given as shown in the figures. Which of the following is best for making a temporary magnet?
