An Example Of A Hysteresis Loop In Figure 1)

An example of hysteresis loop is shown in Figure 1.3 (Figure 1.3, National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning (NPTEL) 2013). The loop has been drawn by using the data collected by measuring the magnetic flux density of a ferromagnetic material by changing the magnetizing force. The intensity of the magnetizing field depends the amount of current applied. The principle used here is the current carrying coil produces a magnetic field which means the conversion of electric field into the magnetic field. From the hysteresis loop, when the amount of applied current increases causes the simultaneous increase in the strength of the magnetizing force H in the positive side accordingly it induces stronger the magnetic field or the magnetic induction …show more content…

When the magnetizing field increased to zero brings the curve to point "e". It will have almost the same level of residual magnetism which was achieved in another direction. Increasing magnetizing field again in the positive direction will reduces flux density to zero. To our notice, the curve does not return back to the origin of the graph because some amount of magnetic force is retained in the material that can be removed by the further application of magnetic field in a positive direction. Then the curve will take a new path from point "f" back to reach the saturation point where it completes the …show more content…

1. Retentivity - It is defined as the ability of the material to retain a certain amount of residual magnetism when the magnetizing force is removed (the magnitude of flux density at a point b on the hysteresis curve).
2. Coercivity - It is termed as the amount of reverse magnetic field to be applied to a magnetic material to reduce the magnetic flux back to zero (the value of ‘H’ at point ‘c’ on the hysteresis curve).
3. Permeability - A property of a material that describes the ease with which a magnetic flux is established in the component.
4. Reluctance – It is the opposition that a ferromagnetic material shows to the establishment of a magnetic field. Reluctance is analogous to the resistance in an electrical
