Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

Which of the following statements about magnetic properties of materials is correct?

A

Ferromagnetic materials retain magnetization after the external field is removed.

B

All ferromagnetic materials are hard magnetic materials.

C

The magnetization in ferromagnetic materials is always linear with respect to the applied magnetic field.

D

Soft ferromagnetic materials do not retain magnetization after the external field is removed.

Correct Answer

Option A

Detailed Explanation

Ferromagnetic materials exhibit a property where they can retain magnetization even after the external magnetic field is removed, which defines hard magnetic materials, as mentioned in the context.
