Answer the following question:
Explain qualitatively on the basis of domain picture the irreversibility in the magnetization curve of a ferromagnet.
The relation between B (i.e. the external magnetic field) and H (i.e. magnetic intensity) in ferromagnetic materials is shown in the following curve.
From the above curve it is clear that magnetization persists even when the external field is removed, this depicts the irreversibility of magnetization in a ferromagnet.
