Hysteresis

/hɪsˈtɛrɪsɪs/
noun

Hysteresis is the dependence of the state of a system on its history, often referring to systems that change slowly in response to changes in conditions.

The hysteresis effect in the magnet shows that its magnetic field does not vanish immediately when the external field is removed.

LampPro Tip 1/1

Technical

When discussing hysteresis in physics, it's crucial to understand how materials respond over time.

In engineering contexts, identify how hysteresis can lead to inefficiencies in systems such as control loops.
