If a soft iron core is inserted in a solenoid, what happens to its magnetic property?

Solution

Dear student, Iron is a ferromagnetic material, so it allows maximum number of magnetic field lines to pass through it and thereby increasing the strength of magnetic field inside it. And the iron core turns into an electromagnet. Regards

When a soft iron core is inserted in a coil, the strength of the magnetic field:

2 \times 10^{- 3} T

2.5 T

A solenoid is used as a temporary magnet (an electromagnet). Why is a soft iron core preferred as compared to steel core?
