Abstract

The present note bears upon the special manner in which a core or rod of iron or steel placed in a varying magnetic field is affected by high-frequency oscillations transmitted from considerable distances. The magnetisation and demagnetisation of steel needles by the effect of electrical oscillations has long been known, and has been noted especially by Professor J. Henry, Abria, Lord Rayleigh, and others. Mr. E. Rutherford also has described a magnetic detector of electric waves, based on the partial demagnetisation of a small core composed of fine steel needles, previously magnetised to saturation, and placed in a solenoid of fine copper wire connected to exposed plates.
