A set for measuring the coercive force of magnetic tapes to 120 kA/m i
s presented. The set is capable of inducing alternative magnetic field
190 kA/m in a miniature solenoid. A desired value and hysteresis loop
are depicted simultaneously on an indicator and oscilloscope, respect
ively. Pulse modulation of sinusoidal current of the solenoid is used
thus providing escape of forced cooling. Electron balance of noise is
also used and the labels of field strength and coordinate axes are for
med on the screen at the same time. Coercive force is measured when la
bel coincides with horizontal axis and reading of an indicator is reco
rded.
