Factors Affecting Coercivity
- Shape and size: The form and size of magnets can change their coercivity. Smaller particles, due to more surface spaces and less flexible walls, have more coercivity.
- Temperature: It too can change coercivity. When temperature rises and falls, the magnetic material’s coercivity can shift.
- Defects and impurities: Magnetic materials, if they have problems like dislocations or impurities. It can produce different magnetic reactions. These then can alter coercivity.
- Mechanical stress: It too can switch the magnetic features of a substance, affecting its coercivity.
Coercivity
Coercivity is the concept where we can completely understand the stability and durability of a magnetic material. In the concept of magnetic hysteresis, coercivity plays a major role. Coercivity shows the relationship between magnetization and magnetic field. In the hysteresis loop, the magnetization will reduce to zero whenever the opposite magnetic field is applied. This article will briefly discuss the coercivity concept, its applications, advantages, and disadvantages.
