Abstract :
A means is established by which the volume and position of nonmagnetic spherical solidified bodies suspended in a magnetic fluid can be ascertained. This information is obtained by monitoring the change in flux as a function of the position and radius of a sphere. The calculated and experimental results are in good agreement
