SUMMARY
The energy required to magnetize soft iron, a ferromagnetic material characterized by a small hysteresis loop and low coercive force, can be calculated using specific formulas related to magnetization energy. It is established that magnetization energy is equivalent to demagnetization energy. To determine this energy, one can analyze the torque applied to each magnetic moment within the material.
