1. Eddy Currents and Magnetic Braking: You can think of a solidconducting sheet as a set of conducting frames, one with in another, asshown. Therefore there will be induced currents and drag forces wherethe sheet is pushed in or out of magnetic fields. These currents arecalled eddy currents.Eddy currents are important when metal parts move quickly through amagnetic field. For example, roller coasters are usually brakedelectromagnetically using eddy currents since there is less wear thanbraking mechanically.Watch the video Pendulum Magnetic Braking found on our Canvaspage. An aluminum pendulum is initially free to swing between thepoles of a non-energized electromagnet. The pendulum comes to arapid stop when the current in the electromagnet is turned on.a. Assume the pendulum swings counterclockwise into themagnetic field as shown. The oval represents the eddycurrents that occur near where the pendulum enters themagnetic field. Indicate, on the diagram, whether the eddycurrent is clockwise or counterclockwise. Hint: Think of theloop in the eddy current as a conducting ring being pulledinto the magnetic field.b.Draw an arrow showing the direction of the magnetic forceon the eddy current.c. Repeat (a) and (b) for the case on the right where the pendulum is swinging out of the magnetic field.d. Why does the pendulum slow down?

a)For the pendulum swinging counterclockwise into the magnetic field, the eddy current will be…
