A change in the parameters of electrical switching in an applied magnetic field has been found in a Rochelle salt single crystal. The modified hysteresis loop in the case of switchable polarization implies a deceleration in the motion of ferroelastic domains. The effect is apparently related to the magnetically stimulated enhancement of the domain wall pinning.
