electrical hysteresis

Electrical hysteresis is the phenomenon where the response of a material to an applied electric field depends on the history of that electric field. It is characterized by a lag in the magnetic flux density of a material compared to the applied magnetic field, creating a loop-like shape on a hysteresis curve. This effect is commonly seen in ferromagnetic materials and is important in various electrical and electronic applications such as transformers and inductors.
