Answer to Question #200079 in Electrical Engineering for McKenzie

Question #200079

Magnetic materials properties: e.g. permeability, retentivity, coercivity, B-H curve, hysteresis and iron losses.

Soft magnetic materials: soft iron, silicon steel, mu-metal.

Hard magnetic materials: ferrites.

A. From the list of magnetic materials above select one soft magnetic material and one hard magnetic material. Sketch the B-H curves (hysteresis loops) of both selected materials. 

B. Give an example of where each one is used and state which of its properties makes it useful for the purpose.

Cobalt

Retentivity: 0.82-1.6T

Coercivity: 10-900

B-H Curve







Hysteresis loop



Iron is commonly used as magnetic materials in generators and motors.

Cobalt is a necessary component in rechargeable batteries. For example, in electric cars

Iron

Retentivity: Iron gets magnetized quickly but loses its magnetism as soon the inducing magnet is removed.

Coercivity: Iron has a very low coercivity

B-H Curve



Iron Hysteresis loop
