  2. Saturation (magnetic) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saturation_(magnetic)

    Saturation is most clearly seen in the magnetization curve (also called BH curve or hysteresis curve) of a substance, as a bending to the right of the curve (see graph at right). As the H field increases, the B field approaches a maximum value asymptotically , the saturation level for the substance.

  3. Barkhausen effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barkhausen_effect

    The Barkhausen effect offered direct evidence for the existence of ferromagnetic domains, which previously had been postulated theoretically. Heinrich Barkhausen discovered that a slow, smooth increase of a magnetic field applied to a piece of ferromagnetic material, such as iron, causes it to become magnetized, not continuously but in minute ...

  4. Magnetic hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_hysteresis

    The downward curve after saturation, along with the lower return curve, form the main loop. The intercepts h c and m rs are the coercivity and saturation remanence. Magnetic hysteresis occurs when an external magnetic field is applied to a ferromagnet such as iron and the atomic dipoles align themselves with it.

  5. Bean's critical state model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bean's_critical_state_model

    Calculated magnetization curve for a superconducting slab, based on Bean's model. The superconducting slab is initially at H = 0. Increasing H to critical field H* causes the blue curve; dropping H back to 0 and reversing direction to increase it to -H* causes the green curve; dropping H back to 0 again and increase H to H* causes the orange curve.

  6. Hysteresis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis

    The curves form a hysteresis loop. Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. For example, a magnet may have more than one possible magnetic moment in a given magnetic field, depending on how the field changed in the past. Plots of a single component of the moment often form a loop or hysteresis curve, where there are ...

  7. Electrical steel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_steel

    Silicon increases the electrical resistivity of iron by a factor of about 5; this change decreases the induced eddy currents and narrows the hysteresis loop of the material, thus lowering the core loss by about three times compared to conventional steel.

  8. Stoner–Wohlfarth model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoner–Wohlfarth_model

    After this jump, the magnetization remains on the red curve until the field increases past h = 0.5, where it jumps to the blue curve. Usually only the hysteresis loop is plotted; the energy maxima are only of interest if the effect of thermal fluctuations is calculated. [1] The Stoner–Wohlfarth model is a classic example of magnetic hysteresis.

  9. Electromagnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnet

    These losses are called hysteresis. The energy lost per cycle is proportional to the area of the hysteresis loop in the BH graph. To minimize this loss, magnetic cores used in transformers and other AC electromagnets are made of "soft" low coercivity materials, such as silicon steel or soft ferrite.
