What is hysterisis? Define the terms 'coercivity' and 'retentivity' of a ferromagnetic material.

Answer»

Solution :Hysteresis: The phenomenon of LAGGING behind of magnetic induction (B) with respect to the magnetizingfield (H) is called hysteresis.
COERCIVITY : It.s a phenomenon of completely demagnetizing the magnetic material by APPLYING the magnetizing field in the opposite DIRECTION.
Retentivity: The property of the magnetic material to RETAIN magnetismeven in the absence of the magnetizing field is known as retentivity.
