JEE Main 2012Electromagnetic Induction Question with Solution

From: AIEEE 2012

Question

A coil is suspended in a uniform magnetic field, with the plane of the coil parallel to the magnetic lines of force. When a current is passed through the coil it starts oscillating; It is very difficult to stop. But if an aluminium plate is placed near to the coil, it stops. This is due to :

Correct answer
Delectromagnetic induction in the aluminium plate giving rise to electromagnetic damping.

Step-by-step explanation

Because of the Lenz's law of conservation of energy.
