Why is soft iron used as the core of the electromagnet in an electric bell?

Solution:

One of the interesting properties of soft iron is that –

The soft iron bar develops magnetic qualities only when an electric current travels through it. And when the current is turned off, the magnetic properties vanish. As a result, the core of the electromagnet in an electric bell is made of soft iron.
