Rare Earth Magnet Basics / Glossary of Magnet Terms / Minor loop
- Minor loop
- The working point of a magnet moves according to the usage conditions, but this movement generally is not along the demagnetization curve, but rather is a small loop within the hysteresis curves with the working point at the starting point. This curve is called a minor loop of the hysteresis curves and is a curve unique to the material. Also, see the section on recoil curves.
