Electro Magnetic Induction And Alternating Currents Question 293
Question: Assertion : A bar magnet is dropped into a long vertical copper tube. Even taking air resistance as negligible, the magnet attains a constant terminal velocity. If the tube is heated, the terminal velocity gets increased. Reason : The terminal velocity depends on eddy current produced in bar magnet.
Options:
A) If both assertion and reason are true and the reason is the correct explanation of the assertion.
B) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.
C) If assertion is true but reason is false.
D) If the assertion and reason both are false.
E) If assertion is false but reason is true.
Show Answer
Answer:
Correct Answer: B
Solution:
When the tube is heated its resistance gets increased due to which eddy currents produced in copper tube becomes weak. Hence opposing force also gets reduced and the terminal velocity of magnet gets increased.
