Hysteresis Losses As I of coil slowly varying in a coil energy flows to coil-core from source However, Energy flowing in > Energy returns The net energy flow from source to coil is the heat in core (assuming coil resistance negligible) The loss due to hysteresis called : Hysteresis Loss hysteresis loss ~ Size of hysteresis loop Voltage e across the coil: e=N dφ/dt
