प्रश्न
Why is soft iron used as the core of the electromagnet in an electric bell?

उत्तर
The soft iron bar acquires the magnetic properties only when an electric current flows through the solenoid and loses the magnetic properties as the current is switched off. That's why soft iron is used as the core of the electromagnet in an electric bell.
