Example sentences
The coercivity characterizes the pigment's ability to resist demagnetization.
In addition, the larger the coercivity, the higher the radiation resistance of the magnet.
The problem is that this material is metastable and exhibits relatively low coercivity, which means it can be demagnetized easily.
