We use a soft iron core in an electromagnet. Give a reason.

iron can obtain magnetic properties when an electric current flows through the solenoid and has a tendency to lose magnetic properties when it is devoid of any electric current. This is the reason why soft iron is used as the core of the electromagnet.
