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...
