Magnetic hysteresis refers to the phenomenon where the magnetic state of a material depends on its past exposure to a magnetic field, resulting in a looped relationship between magnetization and the applied magnetic field strength. This behavior is crucial for understanding how materials respond to changes in magnetic fields, particularly in systems exhibiting ferrimagnetism and in the formation and behavior of magnetic domains.
congrats on reading the definition of magnetic hysteresis. now let's actually learn it.
