In an attempt to influence the domain wall damping, an ac electric cur
rent was driven through contacted ferrite ring cores and parallelepipe
ds in different directions. The dependence of magnetic properties on c
urrent density phase shift between the winding current and material cu
rrent and current direction was measured. Changes in magnetic flux due
to the additional magnetic field arising from the material current we
re considered. Variations of the complex permeability as a function of
current phase shift and coaxial or radial direction were observed. Ch
anges in damping and resonance frequency can be interpreted as due to
the interaction of the electric current with domain walls. The observe
d effects can be explained by the domain drag effect.
