The disc of an instrument using eddy current damping should be of________________?

Correct answer: C. conducting and non-magnetic material

  • A. conducting and magnetic material
  • B. non-conducting and magnetic material
  • C. conducting and non-magnetic material
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

The disc must conduct electricity so that eddy currents can be induced, but it should be non-magnetic so that damping does not depend on magnetic attraction. Hence a conducting, non-magnetic disc is used.
