AB  - The sol-gel process was used to prepare zinc doped magnesium ferrite 
      (Mg(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4)) nanopowders obtained from the nitrates of magnesium, zinc 
      and ferrous is precursor materials, maintain the pH value which were then studied 
      for sensing purposes. The crystallite size and phase of the ferrite samples 
      studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed a pure spinel phase 
      (Mg(1-x)Zn(x)Fe(2)O(4)) with a cubic spinel structure and higher crystallite size 
      and etc. The functional groups with possible stretching analysis were taken from 
      Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The surface features and 
      morphology and the purity of the samples were analysed through a Scanning 
      electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray (EDAX) spectrum 
      respectively. Through the vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM), the magnetic 
      behaviour was studied from relevant parameters such as saturation magnetization 
      (Ms), coercivity (Hc) and retentivity (Mr). The larger Ms in 0.8 has 
      ferromagnetic nature were observed. The dielectric constants (epsilon'& epsilon''), 
      dielectric loss (tan delta) with AC conductivity (sigma(AC)) determined through the LCR 
      metre, and electrochemical behaviour of the samples were found through cyclic 
      voltametery. The possible polarizations at lower and higher frequencies are 
      studied The obtained data are extensively examined and understood.
