Question

Why pure iron is not used for making permanent magnets 0?

Answer 1

Steel is an alloy of iron and so can also be made into a magnet.

If these metals have not been turned into a permanent magnet they will still be attracted to a magnet if placed within a magnetic field.

Alloys with less iron, nickel or cobalt will be magnetically soft and have a weaker magnetic field.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Pure iron or the soft iron is not used for making permanent magnets, because this type of iron cannot retain the magnetic power for a long time. Permanent magnets can produce electricity with the help of a rotating coil,inside a electrical generator
