Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history. For example, a magnet may have more than one possible magnetic moment in a given magnetic field, depending on how the field changed in the past. Plots of a single component of the moment often form a loop or hysteresis curve, where there are different values of one variable depending on the direction of change of another variable. This history dependence is the basis of memory in a hard disk drive and the remanence that retains a record of the Earth's magnetic field magnitude in the past. Hysteresis occurs in ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials, as well as in the deformation of rubber bands and shape-memory alloys and many other natural phenomena. In natural systems it is often associated with irreversible thermodynamic change such as phase transitions and with internal friction; and dissipation is a common side effect.
Hysteresis can be found in physics, chemistry, engineering, biology, and economics. It is incorporated in many artificial systems: for example, in thermostats and Schmitt triggers, it prevents unwanted frequent switching.
Hysteresis can be a dynamic lag between an input and an output that disappears if the input is varied more slowly; this is known as rate-dependent hysteresis. However, phenomena such as the magnetic hysteresis loops are mainly rate-independent, which makes a durable memory possible.
Systems with hysteresis are nonlinear, and can be mathematically challenging to model. Some hysteretic models, such as the Preisach model (originally applied to ferromagnetism) and the Bouc–Wen model, attempt to capture general features of hysteresis; and there are also phenomenological models for particular phenomena such as the Jiles–Atherton model for ferromagnetism.

After reading the original 1930 paper by Sawyer and Tower (link to original paper here), I noticed that their hysteresis loops are mirrored around the y-axis from many of the ferroelectric hysteresis loops reported today ( see FE examples here, here...
Does anyone have an idea how to insert a BH loop like the one I have attached in Ansys Maxwell and not get an error like in the other picture which is also attached?
I have seen it multiple times in different texts but can't define one myself without getting this annoying error.
Also the...
I am trying to simulate an electric motor in ansys maxwell software, but I can't define the whole loop in four quadrants for the material used in the rotor however it is essential to do this since the motor is of hysteresis type and works on the principle of working point moving all around the...
Hi forums,
Following is the hysteresis loop of a standard memristor:
Please note that, the red one is for lowest frequency and black for highest frequency.
From the graph, one can take the following observations:
1> As frequency increases, area of graph decreases
2> With increase in frequency...
hello i have a few questions regarding hysteresis loop in ferromagnets as showen here .
i had an experiment in which i took a piece of gadolinium and cooled it down using liquid nitrogen , than i put it in an apparatus as showen here , so i induct an oscillating magnetic field on it , forcing...
In a lab we had to measure the remnant magnetisation of a hysteresis loop with a permalloy core. The amplitude of the input sinusoidal wave was varied and the resulting remnant magnetisation measured. This was then plotted resulting in the remnant magnetisation varying sinusoidal with the input...

Let's consider the Magnetic hysteresis loop of a certain material: https://www.nde-ed.org/EducationResources/CommunityCollege/MagParticle/Physics/HysteresisLoop.htm is an example. In many sites and books it is written that its area is proportional to the energy wasted as heat, so A = kE_d.

Wide/Narrow Hysteresis loops, what's the difference?
When calculating the work done to magnetize a ferromagnetic material, calculating the hysteresis loop is the right way?
I know the narrower loop(soft) needs less energy(work) to magnetize or demagnetize it is that true?
That's why it's...

For a ferromagnetic material in the hysteresis loop, when increasing field from H=Hc, its magnetization (M) will saturate. But if we decrease field instead, will M decreases clockwise according to the loop?
How can we make the ferromagnetic material back into the initial state (H=0, M=0)...

What instrument would I need to get a hysteresis loop (Flux Density vs Magnetizing Force) for an inductor? Is it something that can be easily obtained given the proper equipment?
Thanks!
