Initially h^ is nearly proportional to Bq. Since, however, much of the induction 0 2 100 MESSRS. G. F. C. SEAELE AND T. G.

As Bq increases, h^ increases less rapidly, reaches a maximumfor a value of B^ [10300] somewhat greater than Bq [8400], the value corresponding 100 ?030. ?025 •020 Scale for h •015 •006 0 2000 4000 6000 8000 10000 12000 Magnetic Induction Ba 14000 18000 18000 20000 Fig. 18. to fji the maximum value of ^, and then diminishes. As B^ increases still further,Aq diminishes rapidly till B^ reaches the stage where /x begins to diminish compara-tively slowly.
