(i) Low coercivity and high permeability 

(ii) Gauss’s Law in magnetism: The net magnetic flux through any closed surface is zero.

\(\oint\) B.ds = 0

Gauss’s Law in electrostatics: The net electric flux through any closed surface is \(\cfrac{1}{ε_0}\) times the net charge.

\(\oint\) E.ds = \(\cfrac{q}{ε_0}\)

The difference between the Gauss’s law of magnetism and that for electrostatic is a reflection of the fact that magnetic monopole do not exist i.e. magnetic poles always exist in pairs.
