Question
What are permanent magnets? Give one example ?
Solution
Permanent magnets are those magnets which have high retentivity and coercivity. The magnetization of permanent magnet is not easily destroyed even if it is handled roughly or exposed in stray reverse magnetic fields. For example: steel
