If a small soft iron or magnetic steel needle, n s, be suspended between the poles, S N, of an electro magnet of such proportions as described above, and the current, after exciting the electro magnet, e e, be lead round the coils, DD, it will be found that for all currents between 10 and 100 amperes the needle, n s, shows a definite deflection for each current.
