If the magnetizing field on a ferromagnetic material is increased, its permeability.

ADecreased
Correct Answer
BIncreased
CIs unaffected
DMay be increased or decreased

Solution

We know that,

A ferromagnetic material, such as iron, does not have a constant relative permeability. As the magnetizing field increases, the relative permeability increases, reaches a maximum and then decreases.

Formula of the permeability is
$$\mu=\dfrac{B}{H}$$

Where, $$B$$ = magnetic field density
$$H$$ = magnetic field strength

The magnetic field strength is inversely proportional to the permeability.

So, The magnetizing field increases then the permeability decreases.
Hence, $$A$$ is correct option.
