Hering's paradox describes a physical experiment in the field of electromagnetism that seems to contradict Maxwell's equations in general, and Faraday's Law of Induction and the flux rule in particular. In his study on the subject, Carl Hering concluded in 1908 that the usual statement of Faraday's Law was imperfect and that it required to be modified in order to become universal.
Since then, Hering's paradox has been used repeatedly in physics didactics to demonstrate the application of Faraday's Law of Induction, and it can be considered to be completely understood within the theory of classical electrodynamics. Grabinski criticizes, however, that most of the presentations in introductory textbooks were problematical. Either, Faraday's Law was misinterpreted in a way that leads to confusion, or solely such frames of reference were chosen that avoid the need of an explanation. In the following, Hering's paradox is first shown experimentally in a video and -- in a similar way as suggested by Grabinski -- it is shown, that when carefully treated with full mathematical consistency, the experiment does not contradict Faraday's Law of Induction. Finally, the typical pitfalls of applying Faraday's Law are mentioned.
