The remanence of a magnetic material is the flux density remaining when

  • A.the applied field has been reduced to zero
  • B.the material has been heated above its Curie point
  • C.the applied field has been reversed to the coercive value
  • D.the material has been driven fully into saturation

Answer: A

Correct answer: the applied field has been reduced to zero

Remanence is the flux density left in a material after it has been saturated and the applied field taken back to zero - the intercept of the hysteresis loop on the flux axis. It is what makes a permanent magnet permanent. Coercivity is the separate quantity: the reverse field needed to bring that remaining flux density to zero.
