How to pronounce hysteresis in American English:
US [ˌhɪstə'risɪs]
-
- Noun:
- the lagging of an effect behind its cause; especially the phenomenon in which the magnetic induction of a ferromagnetic material lags behind the changing magnetic field
Word Origin
- hysteresis (n.)
- 1805, from Greek hysteresis "a coming short, a deficiency."
Example
- 1. Silica is better because it lowers hysteresis loss without reducing a tyre 's grip .
- 2. Hysteresis loss , as this is known , can be reduced by mixing a tyre 's rubber with powdered material that has strong chemical bonds in it .
- 3. You don 't need to be a supply sider to believe that potential has fallen ; you could equally worry that actual output has been depressed for so long , that hysteresis has set in and dragged potential down with it .
- 4. Pirelli 's engineers realised that these defensive weapons are the ideal size to add to tyres in order to control hysteresis loss , and that a ready supply of them is available in the husks left over from the milling of rice .
- 5. A process called hysteresis causes some of the heat energy to be lost , but this new alloy has a low hysteresis , the researchers say .
