Undergrad Do objects of differing mass fall at the same rate in a magnetic field?

[Constellar]

TL;DR

Do massive objects fall at the same rate in fields other than the gravitational field?

Gravity isn't a force in the strictest sense of the word, yet magnetism is exactly that: a force. As is strong, EW, etc.
Therefore, it's possible that the more massive magnetic object gets drawn to the center of a magnetic source at a faster rate than the less massive magnetic object. Discuss!

Hello @Constellar ,

$\qquad$ !​

Are you trying to offload a homework assignment, or trying to actually start a discussion ?
If the former, read the guidelines and post your best effort.
And if the latter: well, what are your thoughts ?

Try again, this time without the attitude.

What you are speculating about is pretty well established science. How much do you know about that? What does it tell us regarding your scenario?

Yes.
