Ferrite (magnet) Wikipedia
A ferrite is a ceramic material made by mixing and firing large proportions of iron(III) oxide (Fe 2 O 3, rust) blended with small proportions of one or more additional metallic elements, such as barium, manganese, nickel, and zinc. They are both electrically nonconductive, meaning that they are insulators, and ferrimagnetic, meaning they can easily be magnetized or attracted to a magnet.
