प्रश्न
A pivoted aluminium bar falls much more slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field than a similar bar of an insulating material. Explain.

उत्तर
An aluminium bar falls slowly through a small region containing a magnetic field because of the induced eddy currents (or induced emf) in it. According to Lenz's law this induced eddy current oppose its cause (its motion). Hence, it slows down while falling through a region containing a magnetic field. On the other hand, non-metallic or insulating materials are free from such effects.
