The dependence of the magnetic moment m obtained from the hysteresis loops on the speed of the magnetic field sweep {dot H} = dH{sub ext}/dt is explained on the basis of Anderson's interpretation of the magnetic flux creep. In addition, a phenomenological model is suggested which predicts a linear dependence of m on In {vert bar}{dot H}{vert bar} with the slope {partial derivative}m/{partial derivative}In {vert bar}{dot H}{vert bar}, numerically equal to the relaxation rate {partial derivative}m/{partial derivative}In(t) from the usual magnetic relaxation. The model here presented also enables one to compare the critical state in the superconductor at a field sweep rate {dot H} with the critical state at some time t{sub eff} after a step change of H{sub ext}. The values of {dot H} analyzed in our experiments actually correspond to the critical state at times t{sub eff} between 0.04 and 4 sec after an imaginary large step change of H{sub ext}.
