Abstract
IN a letter in the issue of NATURE for July 12, Prof. P. L. Burns states that the power factor of certain dielectrics is decreased when a constant magnetic field is superimposed on the dielectric which is being subjected to an alternating electric stress. One would expect that on the Debye dipole theory of polar molecules in a viscous medium the power factor would be changed by a magnetic field.
