1)

Which of the following statement related to the hysteresis loop is incorrect?


A) The curve og B against H for a ferromagnetic material is called hysteresis loop

B) The area of B-H curve is a measure power dissipated per cycle per unit area of the specimen

C) Coercitivity is a measure of the magnetic field required to destroy the residual magnetism of ferromagnetic material

D) The retentivity of a specimen is the measure of magnetic field remaining in the specimen when the magnetising field is removed

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 The hysteresis loop, i.e,  area of B-H curve is a measure of energy dissipated per cycle per unit volume of the specimen. It depends on the nature of magnetic material
