The first harmonics of the magnetic response, of inter- and intragranular volume fractions of a FeSe{sub 0.5}Te{sub 0.5} granular superconducting sample in an alternate magnetic field, have been numerically extracted from the measured magnetization of the whole system by using a model which considers the effects of the fundamental demagnetization fields generated by the magnetization itself. This allowed us to obtain the temperature and field behaviors of the inter- and intragranular ac losses during an ac cycle. These parameters have been found sensitive to the existence of the third harmonic components of the demagnetization field produced by the corresponding magnetization harmonics of the sample. This confirms that the effects of the magnetic response third harmonic components on the sample magnetization, through the demagnetization field, should be taken into account for a more detailed analysis of the measured ac magnetic curves.
