The unusual phenomenon of electromagnetic induction
This paper describes the unusual phenomenon of electromagnetic induction that occurs when a Nd–Fe–B magnet is passed through a hollow paramagnetic aluminum tube and conduction of eddy current happens. It was observed that the time taken by the Nd–Fe–B magnet to pass through a 1 m aluminum tube is lo...

This paper describes the unusual phenomenon of electromagnetic induction that occurs when a Nd–Fe–B magnet is passed through a hollow paramagnetic aluminum tube and conduction of eddy current happens.

A tentative theory for this phenomenon is that due to the paramagnetism of the aluminum tube, the 2 m tube induces a more potent induction to pull the Nd–Fe–B magnet downward than that present in the 1 m tube.
