Case : Read the passage and answer the question(s).

When bulk pieces of conductors are subjected to changing magnetic flux, induced currents are produced in them. However, their flow patterns resemble swirling eddies in water. Consider a copper plate allowed to swing like a simple pendulum between the pole pieces of a strong magnet. It is found that the motion is damped and in a little while the plate comes to a halt in the magnetic field.

Which of the following phenomenon explains this?

Options:

Electrostatic repulsion

Magnetism

Electromagnetic Induction

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Electromagnetic Induction

Explanation:

Eddy currents are responsible for this.
