Answer:

Because of the high permeability and high saturation level of holding magnetism.

Explanation:

Soft iron always used in the core of an electromagnet because of the following reason which are discussed below.

Permeability: These magnets are highly permeable means they can gain magnetism when current is passes through them and instantly loose magnetism after removal of current.
High saturation level: The property of these soft magnets are they have the high value of saturation means they can hold high level of magnetism without easily saturating.

The soft iron inside the coil makes the magnetic field stronger because it becomes a magnet itself when the current is flowing. Soft iron is used because it loses its magne

When the displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position, what fraction of the

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

The ratio is KE : TM = 0.75

Explanation:

from the question we are told that

The displacement of a mass on a spring in simple harmonic motion is A/2 from the equilibrium position

Generally the total mechanical energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

$TM = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2$

Here k is the spring constant , A is the total displacement of the the mass from maximum compression to maximum extension of the spring

Generally this total mechanical energy is mathematically represented as

$TM = KE + PE$

=> $KE = TM - PE$

Here the potential energy of the mass is mathematically represented as

$PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ x ]^2$

Here x is the displacement of the mass from maximum compression or extension of the spring to equilibrium position and the value is

$x = \frac{A}{2}$

$PE = \frac{1}{ 2} * k * [ \frac{A}{2} ]^2$

$KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{2} * k * [\frac{A}{2} ]^2$

=> $KE = \frac{1}{2} * k * A^2 - \frac{1}{8} * k * A ^2$

=> $KE = 0.375 * k * A^2$

So the ratio of $KE : TM$ is mathematically represented as

$\frac{KE}{TM} = \frac{0.375 k A^2 }{0.5 k A^2}$

=> $\frac{KE}{TM} = 0.75$

What is the domain theory of ferromagnetism?

Margaret [11]

A region within a magnetic material in which magnetization is in a uniform direction this means the individual magnetic moments of the atoms are aligned with one another and they point the same direction. when cooled bwlow a temperature called the curie temperature the magnetization of a piece of ferromagnetic material.
