Question

A magnet is dropped down a copper pipe. In the walls of the tube, there is an induced voltage as the magnet falls. Many field lines that are appear where where there originally were no field lines. When there is a change in flux, there is an induced current in the conductor that generates the magnetic field opposing the change. Some opposing force arises in the pipe that pushes up on the magnet as its going down, therefore making it go slower than compared to being dropped in air.

A) what would happen if successively stronger magnets of the same weight were dropped down a copper pipe? Would they drop at the same rate, faster or slower? Explain with reasoning.

B. Could there be a magnet strong enough to stop the original magnet from accelerating, or stop it altogether, or even cause it to accelerate upwards? Justify your response.
