CONCEPT:

  • Lenz's law: It states that the current induced in an electrical circuit due to a change in the magnetic field is directed to oppose the change in flux and to exert a mechanical force that opposes the motion of the moving body
  • It is based on the conservation of energy principle.

EXPLANATION:

  • When the magnet is allowed to fall then the magnetic flux in the coil changes.
  • Due to this change in magnetic flux, an electric current is induced in the coil which will opposes the change in flux and a force is exerted on the bar magnet which opposes the motion of the magnet according to Lenz law.
  • Due to this opposing force, the acceleration of the bar magnet reduces and it will be less than the acceleration due to gravity (g). So option 3 is correct.
