Physics Electromagnetic Induction MHT CET

A copper ring is arranged horizontally and a bar magnet is dropped through the ring with its length along the axis of the ring. The acceleration of falling magnet is

(A)equal to acceleration due to gravity
(B)less than acceleration due to gravityCorrect
(C)greater than acceleration due to gravity
(D)becomes zero

Answer: (B)

Solution

The induced current in the ring opposes the motion (Lenz's law), reducing the acceleration below g; it is not g, greater than g,
