A metal ring is held horizontally and bar magnet is dropped through the ring with its length along the axis of the ring. The acceleration of the falling magnet is

Aequal to g
Bless than g
Correct Answer
Cmore than g
Ddepends on the diameter of ring and length of magnet

Solution

According to Lenz's Law, the flux through the coil will increase. And hence current will be induced in the coil such that it has the same polarity as the nearer end of bar magnet so as to oppose the fall and hence the change in flux.
Due to this, an upward force will be exerted on bar magnet due to coil.
Hence, its acceleration will be less than $$g$$.

Hence, answer is option-(B).
