Abstract

The known rule of conservation of the electrical area of pulses, which plays a decisive role in the effectiveness of the action of extremely short pulses on microobjects, is valid for a wide class of media, including all non-magnetic ones. We show how this rule changes in magnetically ordered media, where pulses can induce magnetization variation. We found that such variations serve as another source of pulse electrical area, in addition to the movement of charges.
