The motion of copper plate is damped when it is allowed to oscillate between the two plates of a magnet. What is the cause of this damping?

Answer»

Solution :The damping is due to eddy currents induced in the copper plate. If slots are CUT in the plate, the eddy CURRENT loops BECOME much shorter-as a result, the net value of the eddy current DECREASES. Then the damping BECOMES less.
