The effect of an induced magnetic field on peristaltic flow of an incompressible Carreau
fluid in an asymmetric channel is analyzed. Perturbation solution to equations under long
wavelength approximation is derived in terms of small Weissenberg number. Expressions
have been constructed for the stream function, the axial induced magnetic field, the magnetic force function, the current density distribution and the temperature. Trapping phenomenonis examined with respect to emerging parameters of interest.
