The materials suitable for making electromagnets should have

The materials suitable for making electromagnets should have
  1. high retentivity and high coercivity
  2. low retentivity and low coercivity
  3. high retentivity and low coercivity
  4. low retentivity and high coercivity

Solution

The retentivity of an electromagnet should be low so that after removing the electric current to the substance doesn't get magnetized and return to its original state. Hence, the materials suitable for making electromagnets should have low retentivity and low coercivity.
