Koersiivikentän

Koersiivikentän, a term originating from Finnish, generally translates to "coercive field" or "coercion field" in English. This concept often appears in discussions related to physics, particularly in magnetism, and can also be found in more abstract or theoretical contexts. In the realm of magnetism, a koersiivikentän refers to the magnetic field strength required to completely demagnetize a ferromagnetic material. This value is a key characteristic of magnetic materials, indicating how resistant they are to losing their magnetization. A high koersiivikentän signifies a material that is difficult to demagnetize, often desirable in permanent magnets. Conversely, a low koersiivikentän suggests a material that can be easily magnetized and demagnetized, useful in applications like transformer cores. The unit of measurement for coercivity is typically the ampere per meter (A/m) or the oersted (Oe). Beyond physics, the term can be used metaphorically to describe a force or influence that compels or constrains something, though this usage is less common and more context-dependent.
