squareness ratio

[′skwer·nəs ‚rā·shō] (electromagnetism) The magnetic induction at zero magnetizing force divided by the maximum magnetic induction, in a symmetric cyclic magnetization of a material. The magnetic induction when the magnetizing force has changed half-way from zero toward its negative limiting value divided by the maximum magnetic induction in a symmetric cyclic magnetization of a material.
