A ferromagnetic substance becomes a perm...

A ferromagnetic substance becomes a permanent magnet when it is placed in a magnetic field because:

A

all the domains get oriented in the direction of magnetic field

B

all the domains get oriented in the direction opposite to the direction of magnetic field

C

domains get oriented randomly

D

domains are not affected by magnetic filed

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

In the presence of magnetic field, all thedomains of a ferromagnetic substance get oriented in the direction of magnetic field. That's why it becomes a permanent magnet .
