In the hysteresis curve the value of magnetization (B) which will be present in a substance when value of magnetizing force $(\mathrm{H})$ is made zero $(\mathrm{H}=0)$ is called as
  1. coercivity
  2. retentivity
  3. domain
  4. saturation

Solution

Retentivity or remanence is the ability of a magnetic substance to retain magnetism even in the absence of a magnetising field. $\therefore \quad$ Retentivity corresponds to the value of $\mathrm{B}$ when value of $\mathrm{H}$ is zero.
