SUMMARY
To obtain a hysteresis loop (Flux Density vs Magnetizing Force) for an inductor, a test winding around the inductor is essential. Users should refer to the datasheets of the inductors they intend to test, as these often provide valuable information regarding the necessary test circuits. The discussion emphasizes the importance of custom test setups to accurately measure hysteresis characteristics.
