- Recoil curve
- In a magnetic circuit, the B-H history curve when the working point of a magnet changes with change in the external magnetic field. This B-H history curve does not necessarily match the B-H demagnetization curve and can be a minor loop within the B-H demagnetization curves. For a permanent magnet, the loop is fine enough to approximate with a straight line and is also called the recoil line. Also, the specific magnetic permeability for the recoil line is called the recoil permeability.
