Question 1 Report

Steel is more suitable for permanent magnet than iron because the former
Answer Details
The passage explains why steel is a better material for a permanent magnet than iron. It states that steel is more suitable for this purpose because it "retains magnetism more than iron." This means that once it is magnetized, it will maintain its magnetic properties for a longer period of time than iron would.
