The magnetic field contribution \( B_m \) due to a material with \( M = 3.2 \times 10^5 \, \text{A m}^{-1} \) is: (Take
**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. B_m = μ₀ M . Given: M = 3.2 × 10⁵ A m⁻¹ , μ₀ = 4π × 10⁻⁷ . B_m = 4π × 10⁻⁷ × 3.2 × 10⁵ = 0.40192 T ≈ 0.40 T . Substituting values gives 0.40 T, which matches expected magnitude for this magnetic configuration, confirming dipole field dependence on m/r³ and torque relation τ = m B sinθ.
