TABLE 286. 



COMPOSITION AND MAGNETIC 



This table and Table 289 below are taken from a paper by Dr. Hopkinson * on the magnetic properties of iron and steel, 

 which is stated in the paper to have been 240. The maximum magnetization is not tabulated ; but as stated in the 

 by 4ir. " Coercive force" is the magnetizing force required to reduce the magnetization to zero. The ''demjig- 

 previous magnetization in the opposite direction to the " maximum induction " stated in the table. The "energy 

 which, however, was only found to agree roughly with the results of experiment.
