5. Hysteresis motor is particularly useful for high-quality record players and tape-recorders because ?

it revolves synchronously

it is not subject to any magnetic or mechanical vibrations

it can be easily manufactured in extremely small sizes of upto 1 W output

it develops hysteresis torque which is extremely steady both in amplitude and phase

Answer: it develops hysteresis torque which is extremely steady both in amplitude and phase

Explanation:
