A solenoid coil can be used to magnetize a soft iron core.
Hence, the given statement is false.
A solenoid is used as a temporary magnet (an electromagnet). Why is a soft iron core preferred as compared to steel core?
Two solenoids, ‘P’ and ‘Q’ are taken. The coil in solenoid ‘P’ is wound over a wooden cylindrical core and the coil in solenoid ‘Q’ is wound over a soft iron core. In which solenoid is the magnetic field stronger?
