The fact that confined plasmas exhibit this phenomenon on short time scales cannot be explained by resistive MHD. This behavior underlies the oscillations in the de Haas-van Alphen effect because free electrons exhibit this behavior with a magnitude proportional to the Fermi wave vector according to a result of Landau. Objects exhibiting this behavior have bound current density anti-parallel to the applied vector potential; consequently, such objects have negative (*) susceptibility and permeability less than that of free space.

Objects exhibiting this behavior have bound current density anti-parallel to the applied vector potential; consequently, such objects have negative (*) susceptibility and permeability less than that of free space. Eddy currents induce this phenomenon in conductors subject to magnetic flux, so such conductors expel magnetic field lines. For 10 points, name this phenomenon in which an object opposes an external magnetic field.
