The hysteresis loop of a soft iron piece...

The hysteresis loop of a soft iron piece has a much smaller area than that of a carbon steel piece. If the material is to go through repeated cycles of magnetisation, which piece will dissipate greater heat energy.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Carbon steel piece, because heat lost per cycle is proportional to the area of the hysteresis loop.
