The core of an electromagnet is made of soft iron because soft iron has
Answer: B
Because soft iron has large susceptibility and small retentivity.
High susceptibility means it magnetises strongly and concentrates the flux; low retentivity means it loses that magnetism almost entirely the moment the current is switched off - exactly what an electromagnet must do. Steel, with high retentivity, is used for permanent magnets.
