**Hysteresis loop** plots B versus H for ferromagnetic material, retentivity (remanence) is residual B at H=0 after saturation, coercivity is reverse H needed to reduce B to zero. Hard ferromagnets have high retentivity and coercivity, retaining strong magnetism after external field removed, suitable for permanent magnets. B = (μ₀/4π) (m/r³) .
