Magnetic Nano particles of Mn0.5Zn0.5Fe2O4 have been synthesized using Co-precipitation technique. During the experimental investigation, MnZn ferrites exhibited interesting structural, electrical and magnetic properties. Formation of spinel phase was identified using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) technique. The ferrite compound prepared in the laboratory exhibited cubic spinal symmetry. The Lattice constant of the compound was determined to be 8.324 A0. The morphology and size of the crystallite was found by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). The magnetic properties were studied using Vibration Sample Magnetometer (VSM) and the saturation magnetization (Ms), remenant magnetization (Mr) and the Coercivity force (Hc) values were evaluated. Electrical properties of the samples were quantified using standard two-probe method.
