Question:medium

A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic lines of force. When a current is passed through the coil it starts oscillating; it is very difficult to stop. But if an aluminium plate is placed near the coil, it stops. This is due to

Show Hint

Eddy currents always oppose the motion that produces them, leading to magnetic damping.

  • development of eddy current when the plate is placed
  • induction of electrical charge on the plate
  • shielding of magnetic lines of force
  • aluminium is a paramagnetic material
