XIV. Magnetization of liquids

Abstract
The magnetization of liquids is a subject which has been examined by several methods, and although the relative values of the coefficient of magnetization for different bodies agree tolerably accurately, still there are large discrepancies in the absolute values given by different observers. An account of nearly all these methods is given in Wiedemann’s ‘Electricität,’ vol. 3. The difficulty of finding the magnetizing force is no doubt a serious objection to the accurate determination of the coefficient k in absolute measure by magnetometer methods, which, on the other hand, are very convenient for finding the relative values of k for different bodies when magnetized by large forces.
