Questions about EM properties of ferrous liquids in spherical form

In summary, ferrous liquids in spherical form are liquid substances containing small iron particles suspended in a liquid medium. When subjected to electromagnetic fields, these particles align themselves and form chains, resulting in changes in viscosity and magnetic susceptibility. Understanding the EM properties of these liquids is crucial for designing and optimizing industrial processes and has implications in the study of magnetorheological fluids. These properties can be measured using techniques such as magnetometry, rheology, and microscopy. Additionally, ferrous liquids in spherical form have shown potential for use in biomedical applications such as targeted drug delivery, hyperthermia treatment, and magnetic resonance imaging. Further research and development are needed to fully explore their potential in this field.

I am an ameteur physicist (i actually have my degree in meteorology), and i have some questions about the EM properties of liquid metals or ferrous liquids when in spherical form. I understand if you are too busy or if i sound off, but if you do have the time to answer a few questions, it would be greatly appreciated.
