Statement I: Electromagnets are made of soft iron.

Statement II: Coercivity of soft iron is small.

Electromagnets are magnets, which can be tumed on and off by switching the current on and off As the material in electromagnets is subjected to cyclic change (magnification and demagnetisation), the hysteresis loss of the material must be small. The material should attain high value of I and B with low value of magnetising fleld intensity H. As soft iron has small coercivity, so it is a best choice for this purpose.
