{{ /coercivity_remanence_soft_magnetic_materials_magnetica.png?500 }} 

Typical [[/hysteresis loop]] for a [[/conventional grain-oriented electrical steel]] grade M4. 

The blue point denotes [[remanence]] //B<sub>r</sub>// = //J<sub>r</sub>// (for //H// = 0). The green point denotes [[/coercivity]] //H<sub>c</sub>// (for //B// = //J// = 0). 

Both remanence and coercivity should be measured after [[/magnetic saturation]], at which //J<sub>sat</sub>// and //M<sub>sat</sub>// is reached (does not increase anymore). There is no limiting [[/magnetic flux density]] //B<sub>sat</sub>// value because it will keep increasing as long as the applied [[/magnetic field strength]] //H// is increasing.

This loop has a high [[/squareness ratio]].
