What is the hysteresis effect?
Hysteresis occurs in a system that involves a magnetic field. Hysteresis is the common property of ferromagnetic substances. Generally, when the magnetization of ferromagnetic materials lags behind the magnetic field this effect can be described as the hysteresis effect.
What is hysteresis in simple terms?
As a general term, hysteresis means a lag between input and output in a system upon a change in direction. Hysteresis is something that happens with magnetic materials so that, if a varying magnetizing signal is applied, the resulting magnetism that is created follows the applied signal, but with a delay.
What causes hysteresis?
Hysteresis loss in a transformer occurs due to magnetization saturation in the core of the transformer. Magnetic materials in the core will eventually become magnetically saturated when they are placed in a strong magnetic field, such as the magnetic field generated by an AC current.
What is an example of hysteresis?
Many physical phenomena display some form of hysteresis. Examples include backlash in gears caused by excess play, forces exerted by elastic materials, Schmitt triggers from electronic circuits, and magnetization of ferrous materials.
