The state of magnetism of a core is explained using the hysteresis loop shown in figure 6-2, The points defined on the loop illustrate the magnetic flux density in gausses (B) as a function of the field (induced by the current) in oersteds (H).
Actually, this core and all magnetic materials exist in nature in some state of magnetization as a result of the influence of the earth's magnetic field.) The 0 point in figure 6-2 represents a condition of 0 ampere-turns in oersteds (H) and 0 core magnetization in gausses (B).
The use of windings to magnetize the core and to sense the signal resulting from the application of a read pulse is one method by which data can be readout or written into the internal storage facilities of a computer.

 Magnetic core memory   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
This lowered the cost of core to the point where it had become largely universal as main memory by the early-1960s, replacing both the low-cost/low-performance drum memory as well as the high-cost/high-performance systems using vacuum tubes as memory.
Early core memory systems had cycle times of about 6µs, which had fallen to 1.2µs by the early 1970s, and by the mid-70s it was down to 600ns (0.6µs).
Another characteristic of core is that the hysteresis loop was temperature sensitive, the proper half select current at one temperature is not the proper half select current at another temperature.

 Core Memory
Core memory, or more accurately magnetic core memory is a random access memory (RAM) system that was developed at MIT by Jay Forrester in 1951.
A core is required for each bit of memory and has three wires passing through it, providing the means to select and detect the contents of each bit.
Core memory, being a magnetic device, is susceptible to the effects of interference.

 Geodynamo
The convection in the fluid outer core is thought to be driven by both thermal and compositional buoyancy sources at the inner core boundary that are produced as the Earth slowly cools and iron in the iron-rich fluid alloy solidifies onto the inner core giving off latent heat and the light constituent of the alloy.
Large zonal flows (eastward near the inner core and westward near the mantle) exist on an imaginary "tangent cylinder" due to the effects of large rotation, small fluid viscosity, and the presence of the solid inner core within spherical shell of the outer fluid core.
The simulated magnetic field has an intensity and a dipole dominated structure that is very similar to the Earth's (Figure 2) and a westward drift of the non-dipolar structures of the field at the surface that is essentially the same as the 0.2 degrees/year measured on the Earth.

 Magnetic Core Storage
MAGNETIC CORE STORAGE.\ Magnetic core storage, although not used as much as it used to be, provides an easy way to show the general concepts of memories, including integrated semiconductor and bubble types of memories.
These cores are magnetized by sending an electric current through the wires on which the core is strung.
With core storage, the data is retained even when there is a power failure or breakdown, since data is stored in cores in the form of magnetic charges, not electric current.

 Magnetic core - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A magnetic core is the core of an electromagnet or inductor.
Using this technique, the magnetic core is equivalent to many individual magnetic circuits, each one receiving only a small fraction of the magnetic flux (because their section is a fraction of the whole core section).
Powdered cores made of carbonyl iron, a highly pure iron, have high stability of parameters across a wide range of temperatures and magnetic flux levels, with excellent Q factors between 50 kHz and 200 MHz.

 MEMS Magnetic Devices Research
Desirable characteristics of magnetic cores for integrated inductors and transformers can be summarized as follows: first, high saturation flux in order to obtain high saturation current; second, high permeability to obtain high inductance; third, high resistivity to reduce eddy current loss at high frequencies.
In addition, micromachined magnetic devices should be designed to have a completely closed magnetic circuit to minimize leakage flux, since leakage flux does not contribute to the total inductance of the devices and can cause interference with other integrated circuitry on the same substrate.
Magnetic properties of electroplated cores for such devices may be very different from magnetic properties of the bulk magnetic materials, thus necessitating an in-situ property assessment.

 C ORE Magnetic Core
The core model in PWL mode takes as input a voltage which it treats as a magnetomotive force (mmf) value.
This value is divided by the total effective length of the core to produce a value for the Magnetic Field Intensity, H. This value of H is then used to find the corresponding Flux Density, B, using the piecewise linear relationship described by you in the H_array / B_array coordinate pairs.
One final note to be made about the two core model nodes is that certain parameters are available in one mode, but not in the other.

Magnetic particles in the molten lava orient themselves toward the magnetic pole just like a compass, and when the lava solidifies, a record is preserved of the magnetic field existing at that time.

 Alpha-Core: Custom Magnetic Winding Cores for Tranformers
In a toroidal transformer the magnetic flux runs parallel to the grain orientation in all parts of the core, and less wire is needed because the windings are distributed over the entire circumference resulting in a shorter mean turn length.
Core halves may be shimmed apart to produce defined gaps in chokes and line reactors.
One reason is that the magnetic flux runs parallel to the grain orientation in all parts of the core and another that less wire is needed because the windings are distributed evenly over the entire core circumference, resulting in a shorter mean turn length,

 Core memory history from the PCmuseum
In the midst of glistening fine copper wires, the little doughnut could be magnetized one way or the other, thus, signaling an "on" or "off" or 0 or 1 in the binary numbering system needed by computers.
They would tediously string these rows and rows of core with the needle/wire assembly, then cut the end of the wire close to the appropriate solder land, (leaving a "service loop" for future use), and the coreplane would be completed.
One defective or broken core (and they are very fragile), would entail removing the wires associated with that core, removing the core, usually a chunk at a time, and inserting a new core in its place.

 Ferrite - Applcation notes
Under "small" bias conditions, increasing the applied magneto motive force E applied to a magnetic core device induces a corresponding increase in magnetic flux F in the core.
At some value of E the magnetic flux F stops increasing; increasing E beyond this value results in a rapid decrease in the permeability of the part.
For this condition magnetic theory terms the device's core saturated, as it is unable to support further increases in magnetic flux with increasing magneto motive force input.
