  The work deals with the experimental study of the emulsion whose dispersion
medium is a magnetic fluid while the disperse phase is formed by a
glycerin-water mixture. It is demonstrated that under effect of a magnetic
field chain aggregates form from the disperse phase drops. Such emulsion
microstructure change affects its macroscopic properties. The emulsion
dielectric permeability and specific electrical conductivity have been
measured. It is demonstrated that under the effect of relatively weak external
magnetic fields (~ 1 kA/m) the emulsion electrical parameters may change
several fold. The work theoretically analyzes the discovered regularities of
the emulsion electrical properties.
