Definition: | the value of the coercive field strength in a material when the magnetic flux density, magnetic polarization or magnetization is alternating at an amplitude corresponding to the saturation hysteresis loop
NOTE – The relevant parameter should be stated, and the appropriate symbol used as follows : H'cB for the cyclic coercivity relating to the flux density, H'cJ for the cyclic coercivity relating to the polarization, H'cM for the cyclic coercivity relating to the magnetization. The first two symbols supersede BH'c and JH'c.
