What instrument would I need to get a hysteresis loop (Flux Density vs Magnetizing Force) for an inductor? Is it something that can be easily obtained given the proper equipment?
Thanks!

Hysteresis loop for inductor is a graphical representation of the relationship between the magnetic field strength and the magnetic flux density in an inductor. It shows the behavior of an inductor when it is subjected to a changing magnetic field.
Measuring the hysteresis loop for inductor is important because it provides information about the magnetic properties of the inductor, such as its magnetic permeability and hysteresis loss. This information is crucial in designing and selecting inductors for specific applications.
The equipment needed to measure hysteresis loop for inductor includes a power supply, an oscilloscope, a function generator, a current probe, and a voltage probe. Some specialized equipment, such as a fluxmeter or a magnetic field generator, may also be required depending on the specific measurement setup.
The hysteresis loop for inductor is measured by applying a sinusoidal voltage to the inductor and observing the resulting current and voltage waveforms on the oscilloscope. The current and voltage waveforms are then used to calculate the magnetic field strength and flux density, which are plotted on a graph to obtain the hysteresis loop.
The hysteresis loop for inductor can be affected by several factors, such as the material and geometry of the inductor, the frequency and amplitude of the applied voltage, and the surrounding temperature. These factors can change the magnetic properties of the inductor and alter the shape and size of the hysteresis loop.
