Remanence, also referred to as remanent magnetization, is a phenomenon in magnetism that describes the residual magnetization of a material after an external magnetic field has been removed. When certain materials, particularly ferromagnetic materials (like iron, cobalt, and nickel), are exposed to a strong magnetic field, they can become magnetized. Once the external field is removed, these materials can retain a part of that magnetization, which is what we call remanence.
