A bar magnet with magnetic moment \( 0.9 \, \text{A m}^2 \) is placed at a distance of \( 0.3 \, \text{m} \) along its a
**Soft ferromagnetic materials** have low coercivity and retentivity, narrow hysteresis loop, lose magnetism when external field removed, ideal for electromagnets and transformer cores. Energy loss per cycle proportional to loop area, explaining why soft materials minimize loss. The magnetic field along the axis is B = (μ₀/4π) (2m/r³) . Given: m = 0.9 A m² , r = 0.3 m , (μ₀/4π) = 10⁻⁷ . Substitute: B = 10⁻⁷ × (2 × 0.9/(0.3)³) = 10⁻⁷ × (1.8/0.027) ≈ 6.67 × 10⁻⁶ T . Substituting values gives 6.67 × 10⁻⁶ T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field
