Question

What does the hysteresis loop represents?

✓

Answer

A magnetic hysteresis loop is a closed curve obtained by plotting the magnetic flux density B of a ferromagnetic material against the corresponding magnetizing field H when the material is taken through a complete magnetizing cycle. The area enclosed by the loop represents the hysteresis loss per unit volume in taking the material through the magnetizing cycle.
