Dynamical phase transitions in the Ising model on hypercubic lattices are considered. Under a linearly swept magnetic field, the hysteresis loop that characterizes the field-driven first-order phase transition is studied carefully. Using the Glauber dynamics, we find that, in the mean-field approximation, the energy dissipation of this phase transition or the hysteresis loop area A of the M-H curve can be scaled with respect to the sweep rate h of magnetic field in the form with a = 2 and b = 2/3. However, b varies when fluctuations and spin correlations are taken into account. Monte Carlo simulation is used to obtain the scaling relation for A in two-, three- and four-dimensional Ising models and we obtain the exponents and respectively. These exponents are obviously different from those obtained by scaling A as for any temperatures in Ising models under a sinusoidal field. Finally we point out that, in the concept of universality, field-driven first-order phase transitions in the Ising model in different dimensions belong to different universal classes due to the spin fluctuation and correlation below the Curie temperature.
