[rem-uh-nuh
ns] 
| the magnetic flux that remains in a magnetic circuit after an applied magnetomotive force has been removed. |
| rem·a·nence (rěm'ə-nəns) n. The magnetic induction that remains in a material after removal of the magnetizing field. [From Middle English remanent, remaining, from Latin remanēns, remanent-, present participle of remanēre, to remain; see remain.] rem'a·nent adj. |
| remanence (rěm'ə-nəns) Pronunciation Key
The magnetic flux density remaining in a material, especially a ferromagnetic material, after removal of the magnetizing field. Good permanent magnets have a high degree of remanence. Remanence is measured in teslas. Also called retentivity. Compare coercivity. |
