Abstract

Learning the formation of the hysteresis loop can help students to understand the ferromagnetic properties of materials. Also, studying the hysteresis loop gives a brief idea about the relationship between the magnetic flux density B, magnetic field strength H and magnetization M. In the present study, a model experiment is presented which was prepared for learning the fundamentals of the hysteresis loop. The results of this easy and instructive experiment are substantially compatible with theoretical knowledge.
