Extract

The irreversible heating of iron ammonium alum by an alternating field is shown to be proportional to the frequency of the field. The heating is therefore similar to that arising from hysteresis in ferromagnetics, but no remanence could be found by a ballistic method at the lowest temperature obtained, about 0·075° K. The rate of heating was much increased by the superposition of a steady magnetic field of a few hundred gauss.
