Question

A copper plate is free to swing between the poles of a large electromagnet. When the field is turned up the plate Group of answer choices will swing faster. will not be affected at all. will brake and quickly come to rest. will swing with a larger amplitude, because it is pushed by the magnet. will become a permanent magnet.

Answer 1

C: will brake and quickly come to rest.

Step-by-step explanation:

Correct answer is option C because for the swinging motion of the copper plates between the magnetic field which is set up as a result of it being between the two magnetic poles, there will be a continuous change of magnetic field flux that will be linked with the swinging pendulum.

As a result of this continuous change of magnetic field flux, it makes eddy currents to be set up in the copper plate which according to the Lenz's laws of electromagnetic induction tries to oppose the motion of the swinging pendulum and finally will make it come to rest.
