Electromagnets commonly use soft iron for the core material. This choice is due to its high permeability, which allows the magnetic field to pass through it more easily than through air or vacuum, thereby intensifying the magnetic field generated by the coil of wire wrapped around it. Soft iron minimizes the loss of magnetic energy to heat, making it an efficient choice for the core of an electromagnet.
