A bar magnet is allowed to fall verticallythrough a copper coil placed in a horizontalplane. The magnet falls with a net acceleration
Options
- A(=g )
- B(> g )
- C( < g )
- DZero
Correct answer
C. ( < g )
Step-by-step solution
According to Lenz's law, as the magnet falls it induces an emf in the coil which opposes the motion of the bar magnet. Therefore, the net acceleration is less than ( g ).
