Coercive force is the force which opposes ____________________?

Correct answer: A. Demagnetization

  • A. Demagnetization
  • B. Breakage
  • C. Extension
  • D. Surface cracking

Explanation

Coercive force is the reverse magnetic field required to reduce the magnetisation of a magnet to zero, so it opposes demagnetisation. The likely mistake is choosing breakage, because “coercive” sounds like resisting physical damage rather than reversing magnetisation.

About Magnetic Flux Density

Magnetic flux density measures the magnetic force acting on a current carrying conductor or moving charge in a magnetic field. Work includes the relations B equals F divided by IL and F equals qvB, the tesla as its SI unit, field direction and the distinction between flux density and magnetic flux.
