Case Based Questions [1] x 3 = 3

7. Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 7 (i) to 7 (iii).
Only ferromagnetic materials show magnet hysteresis, when ferromagnetic material is placed in
external magnetic field for magnetisation then B increases with H non-linearly along 𝑜𝑎. If H is
again bring to zero then it decreases along path 𝑎𝑏. Due to lagging of B with H this curve is
known as hysteresis curve. Lagging of B behind H is called hysteresis.
Cause of hysteresis : By removing external magnetising field (H = 0), the magnetic moment of
some domains remains aligned in the applied direction of previous magnetising field which
results into a residual magnetism.
