PERMEABILITY OF SOME OF THE SPECIMENS IN TABLE 357. 



TABLE 358. 



This table gives the induction and the permeability for different values of the magnetizing force of some of the sped- 

 mens in Table w. The specimen numbers refer to the same table. The numbers in this table have been taken 

 from the curves given by Dr. Hopkinson, and may therefore be slightly in error ; they are the mean values for 

 rising and falling magnetizations. 



Tables 359-363 give the results of some experiments by Du Bois,* on the magnetic properties of iron, nickel, and 

 cobalt under strong magnetizing forces. The experiments were made on ovoids of the metals 18 centimeters long 

 and 0.6 centimeters diameter. The specimens were as follows: (i) Soft Swedish iron carefully annealed and 

 having a density 7.82. (2) Hard English cast steel yellow tempered at 230 C. ; density 7.78. (3) Hard drawn 

 best nickel containing 99 % Ni with some SiO 2 and traces of Fe and Cu ; density 8.82. (4) Cast cobalt giving 

 the following composition on analysis : Co = 93. i. Ni = 5.8, Fe = 0.8, Cu = 0.2, Si = o. i, and C = 0.3. The speci- 

 men was very brittle and broke in the lathe, and hence contained a surfaced joint held together by clamps during 

 the experiment. Referring to the columns, H, B, and /ut have the same meaning as in the other tables, ^ is t|v 

 magnetic moment per gram, and / the magnetic moment per cubic centimeter. H and S are taken from tne 

 curves published by Du Bois ; the others have been calculated using the densities given.

t The results in this and the other tables for forces above 1200 were not obtained from the ovoids above referred 

 to, but from a small piece of the metal provided with a polished mirror surface and placed, with its polished face nor- 

 mal to the lines of force, between the poles of a powerful electromagnet. The induction was then inferred from 

 the rotation of the plane of a polarized ray of red light reflected normally from the surface. (See Kerr's " Constants," 

 P- 33i.)
