Abstract
If a piece of iron or steel is placed in a magnetic field it is magnetized by induction. This is true whether the iron or steel is already permanently magnetized or not. Suppose that a permanent magnet is placed in a magnetic field parallel to the direction of the magnet, that is, so that no torque results from the action of the field on the magnet. The strength or magnetic moment of the magnet will be increased (or decreased, if the field of the magnet opposes the applied surrounding field) by induction.
