The coercivity of a material is the reverse field needed to

  • A.reduce its permeability to that of free space
  • B.reduce its flux density to zero
  • C.drive it into saturation in the reverse direction
  • D.raise its temperature to the Curie point

Answer: B

It is the intercept of the loop on the field axis, and it measures how firmly the material holds its magnetisation. A permanent magnet needs a coercivity of hundreds of kiloamperes per metre; a transformer core needs it as small as possible.
