Abstract
Hysteresis characteristics of a magnetite sample from Gudur area in South India have been studied up to a maximum magnetizing field of 375 oersteds. The apparatus used was the same as developed by Bruckshaw and Rao. The studies have shown that the susceptibilities of rocks are mainly dependent on the magnetite contained in them. Variations of susceptibility of magnetite with its grain size, its purity and its distribution in an inert matrix provide the explanation for the enormous range of rock susceptibilities usually encountered.
