Extract

In a previous piece of work(1) numerous data were obtained on the dependence upon magnetizing field of the Benedicks e.m.f. in nickel wire. The work was restricted to a study of the effect of the initial increase of magnetizing field, no hysteresis loops being examined. The curves were most remarkable in that the change of e.m.f. depended upon the direction of the magnetizing field with respect to the temperature asymmetry. In the paper quoted, it was suggested that the curves should be resolved into two components, symmetrical and anti-symmetrical with respect to the field. In the present paper the former component is termed the normal component, because, as is shown later, a simple explanation of it can be given at once. We call the antisymmetrical component the anomalous effect.
