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

equal to that due to gravity

less than that due to gravity

more than that due to gravity

depends on the diameter of the ring and the length of the magnet

As magnet approaches, the ring facing side becomes a pole opposing the fall of the magnet due to Lenz’s law
