PhysicsElectromagnetic InductionJEE Main 2012

A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic lines of force. When a current is passed through the coil it starts oscillating; it is very difficult to stop. But if an aluminium plate is placed near to the coil, it stops. This is due to :

Answer: (4)

Solution

The oscillating coil's changing magnetic field induces eddy currents in the nearby aluminium plate; by
