  1. Question 1

    Q1. A magnet is dropped through a long copper tube. The acceleration of the magnet is?

    • A) Equal to g
    • B) Less than g
    • C) Greater than g
    • D) Zero

    Answer: Less than g

    Explanation: Induced currents in the tube oppose the magnet's fall, reducing its acceleration. Option A fails because it neglects the induced currents.
