The BH curve represents the relationship between magnetic induction (B) and magnetizing force (H) in magnetic materials, illustrating how a material responds to an external magnetic field. Hysteresis refers to the lag between the changes in magnetization of a material and the changes in the external magnetic field, often visualized in the BH curve as a loop. This phenomenon indicates that the magnetic properties of a material depend on its magnetic history. Understanding these concepts is crucial for applications in electromagnetism and magnetic material design. Comprehensive resources can be found online for further exploration.
