how is ferrite pronounced?
fire - ite
fair - right
or any other forms?
personally I always said it as fire - ite.

(note: I am making the legendery ferrite soup, I must know how it is pronounced in order not to make a fool of myself...)

Fair right.

If you have a lot of it, it is a lot of 'fair right', and if you have numerous ferrite cores it is 'fair rights'.

Look at all of the fair right i have.
Look at how many fair rights i have (it would, however make more sense to use ferrite cores, toroid, transformer etc instead of ferrites.)

The word ferrites would also be quite appropriate if you are talking about different formulations, just as a paint store stocks many different paints.
For example, in the catalog of good old Fair-Rite Products Corp. Link2 you can find size 59 toroid cores in material 67, 61, 43, 78, 75, etc.

Nicko, keep those ferrets away from my ferrites!

That's ferr as in iron, and ite as in dynamite.

Donuts


OK, so most of them are iron powder, not ferrite.
