What (who) is residual magnetism - definition

MAGNETIZATION THAT REMAINS IN MATERIAL AFTER AN EXTERNAL MAGNETIC FORCE HAS BEEN REMOVED
Remanent Magnetism; Retentivity; Residual flux density; Remanent; Remanent magnetization; Remanent magnetism; Saturation isothermal remanence; Permanent magnetization; Magnetic remanence; Residual magnetization

Remanence         
Remanence or remanent magnetization or residual magnetism is the magnetization left behind in a ferromagnetic material (such as iron) after an external magnetic field is removed. Colloquially, when a magnet is "magnetized", it has remanence.
Retentivity         
Coercitive or coercive force; by virtue of which steel retains its magnetism. It is the more modern name, "coercive force" as a term being rejected by many. Synonyms--Coercive Force--Coercitive Force.
Remanence         
·adj ·Alt. of Remanency.

Remanence

Remanence or remanent magnetization or residual magnetism is the magnetization left behind in a ferromagnetic material (such as iron) after an external magnetic field is removed. Colloquially, when a magnet is "magnetized", it has remanence. The remanence of magnetic materials provides the magnetic memory in magnetic storage devices, and is used as a source of information on the past Earth's magnetic field in paleomagnetism. The word remanence is from remanent + -ence, meaning "that which remains".

The equivalent term residual magnetization is generally used in engineering applications. In transformers, electric motors and generators a large residual magnetization is not desirable (see also electrical steel) as it is an unwanted contamination, for example a magnetization remaining in an electromagnet after the current in the coil is turned off. Where it is unwanted, it can be removed by degaussing.

Sometimes the term retentivity is used for remanence measured in units of magnetic flux density.
