Question
When a ferromagnetic material goes through a hysteresis loop, its thermal energy is increased. Where does this energy come from?

Answer

When a ferromagnetic material is taken through the cycle of magnetisation, magnet dipoles of the material orient and reorient with time. This molecular motion within the material results in the production of heat, which increses thermal energy of material.

Coulomb's law states that the electrostatic force of attraction or repulsion acting between two stationary point charges is given by : $\text{F}=\frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0}\frac{\text{q}_1\text{q}_2}{\text{r}^2}$

Where $F$ denotes the force between two charges $q_1$ and $q_2$ separated by a distance $r$ in free space, $\epsilon_0$ is a constant known as permittivity of free space. Free space is vacuum and may be taken to be air practically. If free space is replaced by a medium, then $\epsilon_0$ is replaced by $(\epsilon_0\text{k})$ or $(\epsilon_0\epsilon_\text{r})$ where $k$ is known as dielectric constant or relative permittivity.

An electromagnetic wave transports linear momentum as it travels through space. If an electromagnetic wave transfers a total energy $U$ to a surface in time $t,$ then total linear momentum delivered to the surface is $\text{p}=\frac{\text{U}}{\text{c}}.$ When an electromagnetic wave falls on a surface, it exerts pressure on the surface. ln $1903,$ the American scientists Nichols and Hull succeeded in measuring radiation pressures of visible light where other had failed, by making a detailed empirical analysis of the ubiquitous gas heating and ballistic effects.

When a charged particle is placed in an electric field, it experiences an electrical force. If this is the only force on the particle, it must be the net force. The net force will cause the particle to accelerate according to Newton's second law. So $\vec{\text{F}}_\text{e}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}=\text{m}\vec{\text{a}}$
If $\vec{\text{E}}$ is uniform, then $\vec{\text{a}}$ is constant and $\vec{\text{a}}=\text{q}\vec{\text{E}}\text{/ m.}$ If the particle has a positive charge, its acceleration is in the direction of the field. If the particle has a negative charge, its acceleration is in the direction opposite to the electric field. Since the acceleration is constant, the kinematic equations can be used.
