On the fundamental conceptual problems in magnetism
Abstract
An extensive survey of misinterpretations and misconceptions concerning presentation of the hysteresis loop for ferromagnetic materials occurring in undergraduate textbooks as well as in recent magnetism literature has been carried out. This survey has also revealed a number of intricacies and conceptual problems concerning the fundamental aspect of magnetism. This note provides a critical analysis of these problems aimed at clarification of the intricacies and preventing further proliferation of the confusion in question.
