Magnetics

residual induction

Materials science; Magnetics

It is the magnetic induction remaining in a saturated magnetic material after the magnetizing field has been removed. This is the point at which the hysteresis loop crosses the B axis at zero ...

residual magnetism

Materials science; Magnetics

Small amounts of magnetism that remain in a material after being exposed to magnetic force.

return path

Materials science; Magnetics

Conduction elements in a magnetic circuit which provide a low reluctance path for the magnetic flux. Reversible Temperature Coefficient: A measure of the reversible changes in flux caused by ...

saturation

Materials science; Magnetics

The state where an increase in magnetizing force produces no further increase in magnetic induction in a magnetic material.

shunt

Materials science; Magnetics

A soft iron piece temporarily added between the pole of a magnetic circuit to protect it from demagnetizing influences. Also called a keeper. Not needed for Neodymium and other modern magnets.
