A theoretical investigation of the nonlinear orientational 
dynamics and energy dissipation in a suspension of noninteracting 
single-domain ferroparticles with a magnetic hysteresis on exposure 
to a linearly polarized magnetic field has been performed. The bifurcation 
properties of the system have been studied; the amplitude and frequency 
dependences of the powers of total and viscous dissipation have been 
obtained.
