Given information
Given:
The pivoted metal bar with slots falls more quickly through a magnetic field compared to a solid bar.
To determine, the reason for this observed phenomenon.
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
According to the right-hand rule, moving charges (free conducting electrons in metals) in a magnetic field will experience a magnetic force, making them move and creating an eddy current.
These induced currents will experience a force opposing the original motion of the piece of metal and will begin to slow the fall of the metal bars.
