The Durgapur cosmic ray spectrograph has been utilised to study the electromagnetic interaction of cosmic ray muons in iron in the momentum range 5–100 GeV/ c. The dependence of the interaction cross section on the charge of the muons for the production of a single electron secondary due to the knock-on process and for two and more two electrons due to both knock-on and pair production has been investigated. The ratio of the interaction cross section for positive muons to that for negative muons in the magnetic-iron has been found to be 0.952 ± 0.045 for the production of one secondary particle. For production of two and more than two secondaries the ratios are 1.05 ± 0.09 and 0.91 ± 0.08 respectively. The present results do not indicate any charge asymmetry of cosmic ray muons in respect of electromagnetic interactions in iron.
