Abstract

An analysis is made of the general equations for the equilibrium of magnetizable and polarizable media. The problem of the equilibrium of a finite volume of a magnetizable medium is reduced to a system of one differential and two integral equations, which are solved numerically. It is shown that the interface of a magnetizable liquid mass in a homogeneous field extends along the lines of force of the field, with the subsequent formation of a “neck” of the division.
