The demagnetizing field, also known as the demagnetizing factor or demagnetizing field intensity, refers to the magnetic field that opposes the magnetization within a magnetic material. This field arises due to the shape and configuration of the magnetic material itself, which can lead to non-uniform distributions of magnetization.
