The motion of copper plate is damped when it is allowed to oscillate between the two poles of a magnet. What is the cause of this damping?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

As the copper plates oscillate in the magnetic between the two poles of the magnet, there is a continuous change of magnetic flux linked with the plate. Due to this, eddy currents are set up in the copper plate which try to oppose the motion of the plate according to the Lenz's law and finally bring it to rest.

(a) A closed loop is held stationary in the magnetic field between the north and south poles of two permanent magnets held fixed. Can we hope to generate current in the loop by using very strong magnets? (b) A closed loop moves normal to the constant electric field between the plates of a large capacitor. Is a current induced in the loop (i) when it is wholly inside the region between the capacitor plates (ii) when it is partially outside the plates of the capacitor? The electric field is normal to the plane of the loop. (c) A rectangular loop and a circular loop are moving out of a uniform magnetic field region (Fig. 6.8) to a field-free region with a constant velocity v.

(d) Predict the polarity of the capacitor in the situation described by Fig. 6.9.
