Question 100Electricity & Electronics - QMED
70% to passWhen placed in a magnetic field, which of the materials listed will maintain the highest permeability?
ABakelite
BAluminum
CGlass
DSoft iron
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) Soft iron. Soft iron has the highest permeability among the materials listed, which means it allows the most magnetic flux to pass through it when placed in a magnetic field. This is due to the atomic structure and magnetic properties of soft iron, which has a high concentration of iron atoms that can easily align with the external magnetic field, resulting in a high degree of magnetization. The other materials, such as Bakelite (a type of plastic), aluminum, and glass, are non-magnetic materials and have significantly lower permeability compared to soft iron. They do not contribute to the magnetic flux in the same way as soft iron, which is why they are not the correct answer.
