Abstract
The influence of polarizing voltage on the electric properties of the magnetic fluid (MF) layer is studied. The magnetic fluid is considered a fissile medium of a plane-parallel capacitor series connected to a resonance circuit. The formation, development and self-organization of aggregates in the magnetic fluid layer, which influence its electrical properties, are registered. With various magnetic fluid layers, it has been also found that direct (DC) and alternating (AC) current conductance changes are caused by polarizing voltage. A conclusion about the uniform mechanism of conductance, which is related to the self-organization processes, is drawn. Figs 4, Refs 10.
