This paper describes the effects of a magnetic field on unsteady free convection oscillatory systems. When temperature and species concentration fluctuate with time around a non-zero constant, “Couette flow” across a porous medium occurs. The system of non-linear ODEs that governs the flow is solved analytically using the perturbation approach because the amplitude of fluctuations is very tiny. Mean flow and transient velocity, transient concentration, transient temperature, heat transfer, mean skin friction and phase and amplitude of skin friction. All have approximate solutions. The influence of different parameters on flow characteristics has been specified and discussed.
