In 1985, Matteucci and Pozzi (1985 Phys. Rev. Lett. 54 2469) demonstrated the presence of a quantum mechanical phase shift for electrons passing a pair of oppositely charged biprism wires. For this experimental arrangement no forces deflect the electrons. Consequently, the result was reported as a non-local type-2 Aharonov-Bohm effect. Boyer (2002 Found. Phys. 32 41-50 1987 Nuovo Cimento B 100 685-701) showed theoretically that the Matteucci-Pozzi effect could be associated with a time delay caused by a classical force. We present experimental data that confirm the presence of a time delay. This result is in contrast to the situation for the original magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect. On similar theoretical grounds, Boyer has also associated classical forces and time delays with the magnetic Aharonov-Bohm effect. Recently, we reported the absence of such observable time delays. The contrast with our current work illustrates the subtle nature of Aharonov-Bohm effects.
