- Soft magnetic material
- Magnetic material whose magnetization and permeability are large and in which the magnetization varies with the external magnetic field direction and size Soft magnetic material is used to strengthen the magnetic field generated by the coil and permanent magnet and used as the path of the magnetic flux generated. Soft magnetic material is used in transformer and motor iron cores etc.
