Properties of electromagnets

A material suitable for making electromagnets should have
High retentivity and low coercivity
High retentivity and high coercivity
Low retentivity and low coercivity
Low retentivity and high coercivity

Solution:

An electromagnet should become strongly magnetized when current is on, and lose its magnetization quickly when current is off. Therefore, it requires high retentivity and low coercivity.
