XXVI.—Magnetic Shielding in Hollow Iron Cylinders and Superposed Inductions in Iron

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  06 July 2012

Extract

§ 1. The shielding effect which exists within hollow iron spheres and cylinders, when placed in a uniform magnetic field, has been previously investigated. Poisson, Stefan, Maxwell, and among others, and more recently, Professors Rücker and Du Bois, have contributed to the subject. If

and the ratio of n to R be the order 1 to 100, it appears that the following expressions may be taken as sufficiently correct:

page 641 note * These letters refer to the circular mid longitudinal fields respectively. The order in which they occur signifies the order in which they are superposed the one upon the other. Thus “CL conditions” means that the circular field Hc acts first upon the iron, and the longitudinal field, second. “LC conditions” has, necessarily, the opposite signification. CC and LL mean that the circular and longitudinal fields respectively are repeatedly reversed. § 38 may be referred to. The definitions there given are immediately applicable, by substituting L (longitudinal field) for T (transverse field).
