Describe the physics behind how a magnet is slowed while falling through a copper tube. If a long slit were cut along the copper

tube how would the magnet behave as it falls?

Answer:

According to Lenz's law the magnet slows down.

Magnet drop without slowing down.

Explanation:

When the magnet is falling in the copper coil, then flux through the coil increases but according to Lenz's law in copper tube current will induce in that direction where the magnetic flux decreases. So, the magnet is repelled and slows down.  

And when it is moving down after passing through a copper tube, then the flux decreases and the current will increases in reverse direction due to Lenz's law and will attract a magnet and again due to this it slows down.

If a long slit is cut along the copper then the induced current drops a lot and force also drop. So, the magnet passes through the coil in a shorter time or without slowing down.

Explain what is meant by “field” and compare the properties of gravitational, electric, and magnetic forces in terms of particle
Tema [17]
A field is the description of a spatial region, the force exerted on objects by a field is a field force. 
gravitational force field: surrounds every material object, although only objects planet-sized or larger exert significant gravity.
electric force field: surrounds and affect electrical charges
magnetic force field: surround magnets and materials with electricity flowing through them. magnetic fields affect susceptible materials such as iron or other magnets.

Why electric forces are assential to forming compunds?
lidiya [134]
Ions were once atoms with the same number of electrons and protons. Since they have opposite charges atoms are neutral. When they become ions the lose or gain electrons and become unbalanced.These different charges are attracted to each other via electric forces<span>.</span>
