Question:

If the magnetizing field on a ferromagnetic material is increased, its permeability?

Decreased

Is unaffected

Increased

May be increased or decreased

Solution:

The magnetic permeability of a substance is defined as μ=B/H where B is the established magnetic field inside the material, H is the applied external magnetic field. When the external applied magnetic field H is increased, the established magnetic field for a ferromagnetic material remains the same. Thus the magnetic permeability decreases.
