Why soft iron is preferred to be used as the core of the electromagnet of an electric bell?

उत्तर
Soft iron is chosen to make the core of the electromagnet of an electric bell on account of the following two reasons:
(i) On account of high magnetic permeability of soft iron, it can be easily magnetized and demagnetized. So it makes a strong magnet when current flows through the solenoid but it is almost demagnetized when no current flows through the solenoid. This fact helps in the working of the electric bell.
(ii) The soft iron intensifies the magnetic field of the solenoid and so it helps in making a strong magnet.
