This paper concerns the motion of porous sphere in a spherical container in presence of uniform magnetic field. For inside the porous sphere Brinkman's equation and outside the porous sphere Stokes equation with their stream function formulation is used. The force experienced by porous sphere and wall correction factor is evaluated. Explicit expressions of stream functions in presence of uniform magnetic field are obtained for both the inside and outside flow fields. The variation of drag coefficient and wall correction factor with respect to different parameter is presented graphically.
