SUMMARY
The BH curve, also known as the magnetization curve, graphically represents the relationship between magnetic induction (B) and magnetizing force (H) in magnetic materials. Hysteresis refers to the lag between the magnetization of a material and the applied magnetic field, illustrating energy loss in magnetic cycles. Understanding these concepts is essential for applications in electromagnetism and material science.
