Back EMF, Eddy Currents, and Magnetic Damping

Conducting Plate Passing Between the Poles of a Magnet

Conducting Plate Passing Between the Poles of a Magnet

A more detailed look at the conducting plate passing between the poles of a magnet. As it enters and leaves the field, the change in flux produces an eddy current. Magnetic force on the current loop opposes the motion. There is no current and no magnetic drag when the plate is completely inside the uniform field.
