Draw Hysteresis loop for Hard steel and soft steel. Also write one application of each material.
Application of Hard steel:
Fig. (a) Shows hysteresis loop for hard steel. Such materials are used for producing permanent magnets. Such a hysteresis loop represents a large residual flux & hence large coercive force.
Application of Soft steel:
Fig. (b) Shows hysteresis loop for Soft steel. Residual flux & coercive force are less. Hence material can be used for making the electromagnets.
