Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
intrinsic
term associated with the inside or interior. In devices and device modeling, intrinsic refers to that part of the device or model associated with the active semiconductor structures that control device operation, or provide the desired functions.
intrinsic coercive force
the demagnetizing field required to reduce the intrinsic induction to zero; the x-intercept of the intrinsic demagnetization curve. This quantity is used to gage the field required to magnetize a material and its ability to resist demagnetization.
intrinsic demagnetization curve
the second quadrant portion of the hysteresis loop generated when intrinsic induction (Bi )is plotted against applied field (H ), which is mathematically related to the normal curve; most often used to determine the effects of demagnetizing (or magnetizing) fields.
intrinsic impedance
(1) the impedance presented when a source is open-circuited.
(2) a characteristic parameter associated with a medium that is the ratio of the magnitudes of the transverse components of the electric field intensity and magnetic field intensity for a wave propagating in a given direction. It has units of ohms.
intrinsic induction
the vector difference between the magnetic induction and the applied external magnetic field, or the magnetic field established by the magnetic material itself.
