Abstract: A main magnetic pole member and an auxiliary magnetic pole member of a perpendicular magnetic recording head are disposed such that they are opposed to each other with a recording medium for recording a signal thereon (i.e., a magnetic tape) interposed therebetween. In the central portion of a holder of the main magnetic pole member, a magnetic pole film is embedded such that its upper end edge is exposed on a sliding contact surface of the holder. The magnetic tape is brought into sliding contact with the magnetic pole film. A pair of electrodes are embedded in such a manner as to sandwich an upper end portion of the magnetic pole film within the holder, and at positions spaced by a suitable distance from such upper end portion of the magnetic pole film. The auxiliary magnetic pole member causes the generation of a uniform magnetic flux directed from the auxiliary magnetic pole member toward the magnetic pole film.
