could someone explain in layman's terms hysteresis, and why this would contribute to heat in electromagnets

SUMMARY
Hysteresis refers to the lag between the input and output in a system, particularly in electromagnets, where it contributes to energy loss in the form of heat. In the context of tattoo machines and doorbell circuits, hysteresis occurs as coils magnetize and demagnetize rapidly, typically between 100 to 150 times per second. This rapid cycling leads to hysteresis loss, which manifests as unwanted heat. Understanding and minimizing this heat generation is crucial for improving the efficiency of such devices.
PREREQUISITES- Basic understanding of electromagnetism
- Familiarity with electrical circuits, specifically oscillating circuits
- Knowledge of hysteresis in magnetic materials
- Experience with heat management in electronic devices
- Research hysteresis loss in electromagnetic systems
- Explore methods to minimize heat generation in tattoo machines
- Learn about the design and function of oscillating circuits
- Investigate materials with low hysteresis for electromagnetic applications
Electronics engineers, hobbyists working with tattoo machines, and anyone involved in designing or optimizing electromagnetic circuits will benefit from this discussion.

One very simple explanation about hysteresis loss:

I think I understand hysteresis, This is in relation to a tatoo machine, I posted a question which no one responded too earlier. I figured hysteresis would cause somebody to give some info. any way this is a "doorbell" circuit two coils a switch/contact with a capacitor. or an oscillating? circuit the coils magnetize and demagnetize rapidly 100 to 150 times per second. heat is my problem and how to minimize it.
