does not specifically arrive due to conduction in the Ferrite
material.

On the other hand, discussion of Ferromagnetics is couched in magnetic
fields and electron spin, not in voltaics.

As a side-bar, much the same could be said of distilled water, and the
ice made from it. At the point of freezing, the dielectric constant
AND losses undergo a considerable change - and this is attributable to
flux and polarization issues in much the same way.
