The work done in the cycle is equal to the area of the characteristic loop.
In computer science it refers to a delaying effect utilized in operating systems when switching between menus and folders. In magnetic storage devices, a process called bias, in which the entire system is overdriven into a known state, is necessary when changing the value of the magnetic tape because this effect requires that the previous state of the magnetic tape be known before it be changed into the desired state. The work done in the cycle is equal to the area of the characteristic loop. FTP, identify this effect in ferromagnetism where the effect of a magnetic field on a material is dependent on the previous state of the magnet.
