Magnetic Hysteresis Reflects the Change in the Magnetization, M, Vs

Multiple Choice

Magnetic hysteresis reflects the change in the magnetization, M, vs. applied field, H, when the applied field is increased then decreased in a cyclic fashion. The area between the M vs. H curves for increasing and decreasing H is related to the energy needed to take the material through the cycle. Use Simpson's rule on the M vs. H behavior listed in the table to calculate the area between the curves for the different directions of change of H.
