A study of B-H loops reveals the following informations:
(i) For a given H, B is more for soft iron than steel. So soft iron has a greater permeability.
(ii) As permeability of soft iron is greater than steel, so soft iron has a greater susceptibility than steel.

(iii) The retentivity of soft iron is greater than the retentivity of steel.
(iv) The coercivity of soft iron is less than the coercivity of steel.
