= Magnetic hysteresis
{wiki=Magnetic_hysteresis}
Magnetic hysteresis refers to the dependence of the magnetic state of a material on its past magnetic history. This phenomenon is commonly observed in ferromagnetic materials, which can be magnetized and demagnetized, displaying a non-linear relationship between magnetic field strength and magnetization. When a ferromagnetic material is subjected to an external magnetic field, it becomes magnetized, aligning the magnetic moments of its atoms.
