It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for investigating magnetic domains, the method capable of easily grasping behavior of the magnetic domains in a head manufacturing process, and further to provide a testing method of a magnetic head capable of evaluating whether the writing performance of the magnetic head is good or not. The method for investigating magnetic domains comprises supplying direct current (DC) to a coil of an electromagnetic transducer provided in a magnetic head for writing data onto a magnetic recording medium; measuring an inductance of the electromagnetic transducer at each current value while varying the current value of the direct current; and investigating behavior of magnetic domains in a magnetic core of the electromagnetic transducer based on a relationship between the current values and the inductances. The testing method of a magnetic head comprises evaluating whether writing performance of the magnetic head is good or not, based on a relationship between the current values and the inductances.
