hysteresis

1. The lagging of an effect behind its cause, as when the change in magnetism of a body lags behind changes in the magnetic field.

2. A retardation of an effect when the forces acting upon a body are changed (as if from viscosity or internal friction).

3. A lagging in the values of resulting magnetization in a magnetic material (as iron) due to a changing magnetizing force.
