Q87 / 90 · JEE Main 2018 (15 Apr) · Physics

The B-H curve for a ferromagnet is shown in the figure. The ferromagnet is placed inside a long solenoid with 1000 turns cm-1. The current that should be passed in the solenoid to demagnetize the ferromagnet completely is, 
Figure

  • A
    2 mA
  • B
    20 μA
  • Correct answer
    C
    1 mA
  • D
    40 μA

Solution

The coercivity of ferromagnet, H=100 A m-1, n×I=100
⇒I=100105=1 mA.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
