Abstract: The perturbation velocity field and the perturbation magnetic field due to the first-order interaction of the slow flow field of a conductive viscous fluid with an aligned quadrupole magnet have been calculated. The drag increase can be computed from the perturbation stream function alone with an economy of effort compared to previous calculations for magnetized bodies.
