Which of the following statement is incorrect about hysteresis?

Options

A. This effect is common to all ferromagnetic substance
B. The hysteresis loop area is proportional to the thermal energy developed per unit volume of the material
C. The hysteresis loop area is independent of the thermal energy developed per unit volume of the material
D. The shape of the hysteresis loop is characteristic of the material

Answer

C

Explanation

The energy lost per unit volume of a substance complete cycle of magnetisation is equal to the area of the hysteresis loop.
