We satisfied ourselves by the comparisonof the values of W found (1) from cyclic B—H curves, (2) by the electro-dynamo-meter, that the method was yielding at least approximately exact values of the observations corresponding to any given value of Hq were made, the wirewas subjected to several cycles of loading and unloading, the maximum load being24 kilogrammes. The magnetic observations were taken only as the load was beingincreased. The section of the wire was *00708 sq» so that a load of 1 kilo-gramme gives a tension of 1*39 X 10^ dynes per sq. centim. The results are given inthe following table and in fig. 7. (See also § 67.) 16000 14000 12000. Fig, 7, Observations on a soft iron wire during both loading and unloading showed thatthe curves for loading and unloading are not quite identical, though the differencebetween them is not large.

The numbers on the diagram will prevent anyconfusion. In each case, as the tension increases, both Bq and W rise to maximum values,
