Question 63 of 153

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 :

Show answer and solution

Answer: (D) electromagnetic induction in the aluminium plate giving rise to electromagnetic damping.

Oscillating coil produces time variable magnetic field. It cause eddy current in the aluminium plate which causes anti-torque on the coil, due to which is stops.
