Preferred Label : hysteresis;
IUPAC definition : electroanalytical chemistry hysteresis (electrode memory) occurs when there is a difference
between the emf first observed in a solution containing a concentration of a and a
second observation of the emf in the same solution after exposing the electrode to
a different concentration of a. the systematic error is generally in the direction
of the concentration of the solution in which the electrode was previously immersed.
hysteresis is thought to be a kinetic process. normal, reversible responses are expected
when sufficient time is allowed for the system to return to its initial condition.; regarding a material quantity or instrument's reading; the dependence of a value on
the direction of change from a previous characteristic value. it may be quantified
by the difference between the upscale and downscale variation starting from fixed
lower and upper measurement points (inversion).;
