The magnetic material produced from the chemical combination of metal oxides and has a very high resistance to electric current is called

A.

ferrite substance

B.

paramagnetic substance

C.

ferromagnetic substance

D.

diamagnetic substance

Correct answer is A

Ferrite magnets are non-conductive aferromagnetic ceramic compounds derived from iron oxides such as Haematite (Fe203) or Magnetite (Fe304) and other metal oxides such as Barium and Strontium.

Ferrite is a polycrystal, sintered material with high electrical resistivity. The high resistance of ferrite makes eddy current losses extremely low at high frequencies.
