The theory for the energy of magnetic absorption by particles of a nonspherical shape by irradiation of the ultrashort laser pulses of different duration and carrying frequencies is developed. For the particles having the oblate or prolate spheroidal shape there has been found a dependence of this energy on the orientation of the magnetic field upon particle, degree of its deviation from the spherical form, pulse duration, and the magnitude of carrier frequency of the laser ray. An appreciable absorption growth at the length of free electron pass large comparing to the particle size is established. The phenomenological and kinetic approach is compared each with other.
