Magnetic bodies are often employed in modern electromechanical devices as sensors and actuators. Consequently they are subjected to exchange of electromagnetic, mechanical, and thermal energy with the surroundings in a variety of working conditions. Their functioning are here examined by a thermodynamic treatment with the aim of obtaining relations of general validity in the presence of nonuniform magnetic fields. Applications to problems concerning torque magnetometers are presented and discussed in detail.
