Hysteresis is the delay between an observed outcome and the quantity of change applied.

When a ferromagnetic material is magnetized in one direction, it will not relax back to zero magnetization when the imposed magnetizing field is removed. It must be driven back to zero by a field in the opposite direction. If an alternating magnetic field is applied to the material, its magnetization will trace out a loop called ahysteresis loop. The lack of retraceability of the magnetization curve is the property called hysteresis and it is related to the existence of magnetic domains in the material. Once the magnetic domains are reoriented, it takes some energy to turn them back again. This property of ferrromagnetic materials is useful as a magnetic "memory". Some compositions of ferromagnetic materials will retain an imposed magnetization indefinitely and are useful as "permanent magnets". The magnetic memory aspects of iron and chromium oxides make them useful in audiotape recording and for the magnetic storage of data on computer disks.

Variations in Hysteresis Curves

There is considerable variation in the hysteresis of different magnetic materials.

In hysteresis materials it represents the energy dissipated in them during the cycle of magnetization & demagnetization (just refer any hysteresis loop diagram) . This is used in many applications especially in aerospace to damp the oscillations in satellite.

How does one receive hysteresis?

Hysteresis occurs most commonly in ferromagnetic and ferroelectric materials such as rubber bands and shape-memory alloys. When the material is flexed the atoms often break apart causing hysteresis.
