Question

A metal ring is held horizontally and a bar magnet is dropped through the ring with its length along the axis of the ring. The magnet falls with an acceleration:
  1. Equal to g
  2. Less than g
  3. Greater than g
  4. none

A
Equal to g
B
Less than g
C
Greater than g
D
none

Verified by Toppr

A metal ring is held horizontally and a bar magnet is dropped through the ring with its length along the axis of the ring. The magnet falls with an acceleration less than g
As the magnet falls, the magnetic flux linked with the ring increases. This induces emf in the ring which opposes the motion of the falling magnet, hence a<g.
