In this paper, the numerical simulation of the motion of a ferromagnetic particle is presented and is based on Langevin's equations for the rotational motion of a rigid dipole in a magnetic field, neglecting inertia. A test numerical experiment is performed to check the normality of the distribution of y/sub 1/ and y/sub 2/. From here it is evident that the assumption that the quantities are distributed normally is acceptable. Results of the calculations show that dependences correspond well with the data obtained by the numerical experiments.
