The Magnetic Current

Nature volume 154, pages 426–427 (1944)Cite this article

Abstract

IN an article in Nature of February 5, 1944, entitled "Magnetic Current", Mr. James T. Kendall deals with movements of dia- or para-magnetic liquids in non-homogeneous magnetic fields, combined with electrodynamic rotations. He states that his horizontal magnetic field is not uniform (non-homogeneous) and observes the mass movement of the liquid as disclosed by refractive index striation without making use of the dark field of a microscope.
