- Magnetic hysteresis loop
- This is a loop showing the processing of magnetization of a magnetic body for an external magnetic field. Normally, this means the hysteresis loop of an adequately magnetized magnetic body. A curve plotting the magnetic polarization J change for an external magnetic field H is called the J-H curve and a curve plotting the change of the magnetic flux B for an external magnetic field H is called the B-H curve.
