Abstract This paper presents experimental results of the flux control characteristic and the inductance control characteristic of magnetic fluid which is controlled by the permanent magnets. Two kinds of magnetic field, parallel and orthogonal, are discussed comparatively. The position between the magnetic fluid and the permanent magnet determines the magnetic field. The results are useful when employing magnetic fluid as a sensor or a control element.
