3. 3 | P a g e
In this experiment we study the magnetic properties of materials. The magnetic
properties can be determined by the variation of magnetic field ‘H’. The material
which is used in this experiment is iron. H is magnetic field intensity as
H = nI
B is magnetic field induction which is determined by
B = µ (M+H)

B-H Curve Experiment Figure
B-H CURVE
7. 7 | P a g e
A B-H curve is used to show the relationship between magnetic flux density (B) and magnetic
field strength (H) for a particular material. When tested experimentally, a ferromagnetic (i.e.
strongly magnetic) material such as iron will produce a curve similar to that shown above.
Electromagnetic coil
The magnetic flux is generated by an electromagnetic coil is the amount magnetic field or lines
of force produced within a given area. The magnetic strength of an electromagnet depends upon
the number of turns of the coil if we increase the number of turns we can increase the magnetic
field strength (H).
Ammeter
It is an instrument used for measuring
current in amperes in an electronic circuit.

Voltmeter
It is an instrument used for measuring the potential difference between two points in electronic
circuit.
CrocodileClip
A sprung metal clip with long, serrated jaws, used to an electronic cable for making a temporary
connection to a battery or other component.
Banana clip
A banana clip or also called banana connector (banana plug for male and banana
socket or banana jack) is a single wire electrical connecter used for joining wires to equipment.
Specimen
It is a limited quantity of something which is intended to be similar to and
represent a larger amount of that thing.
Retentivity
The ability of a substance to retain or resist magnetization, frequently measured as
the strength of the magnetic field that remains in a sample after removal of an inducing field.
“Iron is easily magnetized but has low retentivity”
Solenoid
A solenoid is a coil wound into a tightly packed helix. The term was invented by
French Physicist Andre-Marie Ampere.
PowerSupply
A power supply is an electronic device that supplies electric energy to an electrical
load. The primary function of a power supply is to convert one form of electrical energy to
another form.

From experiment we conclude that relation between B and H as
B = 𝜇𝐻
For air 𝜇 = 1, B×H
B-H curve shows that magnetization and demagnetization follow different path.
We find that current and volume of deflection 𝜃 is proportional but at certain point is constant
. Because the specimen becomes saturated
B=53.18×10 ̄⁷ 𝜏
If current is decreased by H becomes zero and B has non zero values. B has to reduce to zero by
changing current polarity
