Question:medium
If a magnet is dropped through a vertical hollow copper tube then
If a magnet is dropped through a vertical hollow copper tube then
Show Hint
Conductors + changing magnetic field → eddy currents → motion slows.
Updated On: May 1, 2026
- the time taken to reach the ground is longer than the time taken if the tube was made out of plastic
- the magnet will get attracted and stick to the copper tube
- the time taken to reach the ground is longer than the time taken if the tube was made of stainless steel
- the time taken to reach the ground does not depend on the radius of the copper tube
- the magnet will be repelled away by the tube
