Extract

Of the more recent researches on the subject of this paper, mention may be made of the work of H. Zahn* on the galvanomagnetic and thermomagnetic effects in various metals. Zahn has measured these effects in many different metals, and has used his results to test the electron theory of the properties of metals as developed by P. Drude. He has also determined in some cases the temperature variation of the effects.

The author of the present paper has confined his attention to the thermomagnetic transverse effects and the Hall effect. These have been measured in magnetic fields of various strengths and at temperatures varying over a range of about 100 Centigrade degrees.

The experiments were carried out with a view to obtaining some light on the electron theory, and the ratios of the effects are discussed in relation to this theory.
