‘X’ set up in the drum exert a torque on the drum to stop the train. Identify X.(a) Induction(b) Eddy currents(c) Electromagnetic oscillations(d) Air pressureThis question was addressed to me at a job interview.The question is from Electromagnetic Induction topic in section Electromagnetic Induction of Physics – Class 12

Answer» CORRECT answer is (B) Eddy currents

Best explanation: A strong MAGNETIC field is applied to the rotating DRUM ATTACHED to the wheel. The eddy currents set up in the drum exert a torque on the drum to stop the train. That is the reason eddy currents are set up in the drum of the train wheel.
