Why does the acceleration of a magnet falling through a long solenoid decrease?

What is the acceleration of free fall?

Choose the correct option The magnetic field inside a long straight solenoid carrying current

Direction. In the following questions, a statement of assertion is followed by a statement of reason. While answering a question, you are required to choose the correct are out of the given four responses and mark it as (A). If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of the assertion, (B) if both assertion and reason are true but reason is not correct explanation of the assertion. (C) if assertion is true, but reason if false, (D) if both assertion and reason are false Assertion : When a bar magnet falls freely along the axis of a solenoid held vertically, its acceleration is less than the acceleration due to gravity Reason: The falling magnet induces current in the solenoid and according to Lenz's law, the induced current opposes the falling motion of the magnet
