dc.description.abstract<p> The semi-classical path-integral method for finding the magnetoconductivity is specialised to cubic one-electron metals having a spherical Fermi surface, isotropic effective mass and anisotropic scattering times. Properties of the conductivity and resistivity tensors are deduced for this special case, in more detail for high magnetic fields. The magnetoconductivity for potassium, and the quantities derived from it - magnetoresistance and induced torque - are calculated as functions of temperature, field strength, impurity concentration and crystal orientation. Comparison is made with experimental results.</p>en_US
