As we learnt in

Coercivity (H) -

When H = Hc , B = 0

- wherein

i.e  Magnetising fields (H) required to destroy the residual magnetism.

 

 

Retentivity -

When H=0 (after having increases from 0 to Hs), B=Br

Br - residual magnetism, retentivity

-

 

 Materials of low retentivity and low coercivity are suitable for making electromagnets.
