Extract

I have, in a previous communication to the Society, given results for a number of alloys; these I propose to discuss from the point of view suggested by the title of this paper; I shall also discuss the results published by other experimenters, which relate chiefly to the behaviour of the Hall effect by constant field and variable temperature.

In attempting to explain the transverse effect, we have two things to consider. (1) The direction, and (2) the magnitude. In the following table the metals are arranged in a thermo-electric series as given by Wiedemann; and in the second column the direction and magnitude of the transverse effect in terms of the rotatory coefficient R, according to Ettingshausen and Nernst's results, are given.
