Abstract: We propose the methods for studying electrokinetic phenomena in magnetic colloidal systems (magnetic fluids), which make it possible to use the magnetic properties of particles of the disperse phase. Electrophoresis and the sedimentation potential in a kerosene-based magnetic fluid are studied. It is shown that only a small part (approximately one-thousandth) of all disperse particles in the magnetic fluid under investigation are charged, the sign of the particle charge being negative.
