True or false: the hysteresis loop of a permanent magnet material should be as narrow as possible.

  • A.True, provided the remanence is also large
  • B.True, the loop width being unrelated to the magnetisation
  • C.False, a permanent magnet requiring a wide loop and a high coercivity
  • D.True, a narrow loop meaning less energy is wasted

Answer: C

A permanent magnet wants a broad loop, with a large coercivity so that stray fields cannot demagnetise it and a large remanence so that it holds a useful flux. It is the transformer core, cycled continuously, that needs the narrow loop.
