To Explain: The reason iron is used in an armature.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
An armature is basically a piece of an electrical machine that is used to carry the
The soft iron concentrates the magnetic field and it allows it to reverse its direction. Soft iron is used in armature because it is ferromagnetic in nature which means there is a presence of the external magnetic field in which all the domains align together in the direction of the magnetic field. It increases the strength of the magnetic field.
Conclusion:
Hence, iron is used in an armature because it increases the magnetic strength of the field.
