The Onsager theory of hard rod dispersion in a neutral solvent is extended to a case of two-component dispersion consisting of both non-magnetic and magnetic rods. It was found that the alignment of magneto-sensitive dispersion component by a magnetic field leads to the alignment of non-magnetic component in the dispersion and to an elimination of the isotropic phase. This effect is significant even at low relative concentrations of magnetic rods and leads to a magnetically induced anisotropy in a non-magnetic dispersion of rods mixed with the magnetic ones.
