Magnetic hysteresis is exhibited by magnetic materials which are (a) only paramagnetic (b) only diamagnetic (c) only ferromagnetic (d) both para and ferromagnetic

Answer: (c). Hysteresis means B lags behind H and some magnetisation remains after H is removed. This needs domains. Only ferromagnetic materials have domains. Para- and diamagnets have no retentivity. So the answer is (c) only ferromagnetic.

Magnetic hysteresis is exhibited by magnetic materials which are

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

Hysteresis means $B$ lags behind $H$ and some magnetisation remains after $H$ is removed. This needs domains.
Only ferromagnetic materials have domains. Para- and diamagnets have no retentivity.
So the answer is (c) only ferromagnetic.
