Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.
magnetic permeability tensor
relationship between the magnetic field vector and the magnetic flux density vector in a medium with no hysteresis; flux density divided by the magnetic field in scalar media.
permeability
tensor relationship between the magnetic field vector and the magnetic flux density vector in a medium with no hysteresis; flux density divided by the magnetic field in scalar media. Permeability indicates the ease with which a magnetic material can be magnetized. An electromagnet with a higher permeable core material will produce a stronger magnetic field than one with a lower permeable core material.
Permeability is analogous to conductance, when describing electron flow through a material.

reluctance
recoil permeability
the average slope of the minor hysteresis loop, which is roughly the slope of the major hysteresis loop at zero applied field (H ), and is most often used to determine the effect of applying and removing a demagnetizing field to and from a magnetic material.
