BH Magnetizing Curve
B-H curve or magnetization
curve is the graphical
relationship between B and
H with
H on the x-axis
B on the y-axis
BH Magnetizing Curve
B-H curve divide in 3-region
Region OX
For I=0, H=0 and B=0
Flux density B increase gradually as the curve of H is increased.
In this region B changes slowly
Region XY
For small change in H, there is large change in B
B-H curve is linear in this region
Linear region in XY region
Y point is called as knee point
BH Magnetizing Curve
Magnetic Hysteresis and Hystersis Loop
All ferromagnetic materials exhibit the phenomenon hystersis in the
B-H curve
B-H curve only by increasing the magnetizing current
B-H curve will plot for one complete cycle of
magnetization(increase current) and demagnetization(decreasing
current)
In this region B changes slowly
BH Magnetizing Curve
Steps for plotting hysteresis loop
Increase the current in the positive direction in suitable steps
For each value of I, calculate B and H and plot points
Decrease the positive current in suitable steps upto zero and
calculate B and H and plot the points
Increase the current in the negative direction in suitable steps and
plot the points
Decrease the negative current to zero and plot the points
With this hysteresis loop is complete

Residual magnetism (Bres) or retentivity
At point D i=0, H=0 but B is not zero.
This non-zero value of B is called as the residual magnetism (Bres)
The residual flux density is also called as remanent flux density
This property of a magnetic material is called as the Retentivity

Coercive force (HC)
At point E I is not 0, H is not 0 but B =0.
The value of magnetic field strength to wipe out the residual flux
density is called as the coercive force (HC)
The process of reducing the magnetic flux density (B) to zero is
called as demagnetization of the core
the magnitudes of the residual magnetism and coercive force depend
on the imperfections in the material such as voids, impurities and
internal strains

Hysteresis Loss
Due to presence of magnetic hysteresis a fraction of applied power
will be lost in the form of heat
The portion of power lost corresponds to the difference between the
energy stored and the energy returned back by the magnetic core
This is called as hysteresis loss
Factors affecting the hysteresis loss
Frequency of magnetization (directly proportional to the frequency)
Area enclosed by the hysteresis loop (directly proportional to area)
Volume of the material (directly proportional to the volume)
BH Magnetizing Curve
Area of hysteresis loop
Hysteresis loss is directly proportional to the area under the
hystersis loop
For low loss material the hysteresis loop is narrow
The area of hysteresis loop is equal to the work done in order to
reverse the direction of magnetism
The shape and the area of Hysteresis loop depends on the internal
structure of the material and the composition of the material
If material is magnetically pure the area of hysteresis loop becomes
smaller due to the reduction in hysteresis loop
BH Magnetizing Curve
As temperature increase
there would be some disorder
in the domain alignment
and the saturation valuve of
Bsat decrease
The saturation value of
magnetization decrease with
increase in temperature and
it reduces to zero at Curie
point(TF)
