Abstract
Magnetothermal effect associated heat flow and eddy current loss serve as an additional entropy source in the magnetization process. Based on simplified models, it is shown that, though these effects are included, losses and the entropy production in a hysteresis cycle still obey Warburg's law or its simple version.
