Point out the wrong statement about the magnetic properties of soft iron and steel

ARetentivity of soft iron is more than retentivity of steel.
BCoercivity of soft iron is less than coercivity of steel.
CArea of B-H loop in soft iron is smaller than the area of B-H loop for steel
DArea of B-H loop in soft iron is greater than the area of B-H loop for steel
Correct Answer

Solution

The B-H curve of both soft iron and steel are shown in figure. From the above hysteresis curve it is clear that area of B-H loop in soft iron is smaller than that of steel.
