Soft iron is used as core in transformer because. It has
High retentivity, high permeability and low coercivity
Narrow hysteresis loop, high permeability, high coercivity
Wide hysteresis loop, high retentivity and high coercivity
Narrow hysteresis loop, low retentivity and low coercivity
for temporary magnet energy loss depends on area of the hysteresis loop low coercivity assures easy demagnetization
