Dictionary of Electrical Engineering

Commonly used terms in the Electrical industry.

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.
magnetization curve

See hysteresis curve
normal demagnetization curve
the second quadrant portion of the hysteresis loop generated when magnetic induction (B)is plotted against applied field (H ), which is mathematically related to the intrinsic curve; used to determine the performance of a magnet in a magnetic circuit.
