Saturation vs Coercivity - What's the difference?
saturation | coercivity |
the act of saturating or the process of being saturated
(physics) the condition in which, after a sufficient increase in a causal force, no further increase in the resultant effect is possible; e.g. the state of a ferromagnetic material that cannot be further magnetized
(chemistry) the state of a saturated solution
(chemistry) the state of an organic compound that has no double or triple bonds
(meteorology) the state of the atmosphere when it is saturated with water vapour; 100% humidity
(art) the intensity or vividness of a colour
intense bombing of a military target with the aim of destroying it
the flooding of a market with all of a product that can be sold
(music) an effect on the sound of an electric guitar, used primarily in heavy metal music
The condition at which a component of the system has reached its maximum traffic-handling capacity, i.e. one erlang per circuit.
The point at which the output of a linear device, such as a linear amplifier, deviates significantly from being a linear function of the input when the input signal is increased.
(uncountable) The quality of being coercive
(physics, materials science) The intensity of the magnetic field which must be applied in order to reduce the magnetization of a ferromagnetic material to zero after the magnetization of the sample has been driven to saturation
As nouns the difference between saturation and coercivity
is that saturation is the act of saturating or the process of being saturated while coercivity is (uncountable) the quality of being coercive.saturation
English
Noun
(wikipedia saturation) (en-noun)- Modulation often requires that amplifiers operate below saturation .
