Electrical and Magnetic Properties of a Kerosene-Based Magnetic Fluid Subjected to the Action of Electric and Magnetic Fields

A complex investigation of the electrical and magnetic properties of the most abundant magnetic fluids of the type of magnetite in kerosene with oleic acid as a stabilizer has been performed with the aim to establish the generality of the processes of magnetization and polarization of these fluids. The permittivity and magnetic susceptibility of such fluids, which are their most structurally-dependent parameters carrying information on the mechanism of magnetization and polarization of a fluid, were determined.
