The effects of a transverse magnetic field on the Couette flow of an electrically conducting fluid between two infinite parallel plates have been discussed when one of the plates has been set into ramped motion. Under the assumption of a negligible induced magnetic field and applied magnetic field being fixed relative to the fluid or moving plate, the governing momentum equation has been solved exactly. The expressions for velocity field and skin-friction have been presented. The transient features of velocity and skin-friction have been discussed for different values of the Hartmann number. It is seen that the velocity field and skin-friction increases with an increase of the Hartman number when the magnetic field is fixed with respect to the moving plate while the result is just reverse when it is fixed with respect to the fluid.
