co·er·civ·i·ty (k   r-s v -t )n. The intensity of the magnetic field needed to reduce the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material to zero after it has reached saturation. |
coercivity [ˌkəʊɜːˈsɪvɪtɪ]
n
(Physics / General Physics) the magnetic-field strength necessary to demagnetize a ferromagnetic material that is magnetized to saturation. It is measured in amperes per metre Compare coercive force
| coercivity (kr-sv-t) The magnetic flux density needed to reduce the magnetization of a material (especially a ferromagnetic material) from complete saturation to zero. Coercivity is measured in teslas. Compare remanence. |
