I‘m writing up my A2 physics coursework and i understand the concept of eddy currents and that it‘s because copper is a better conductor but i good explanation of how a better conductor leads to stronger eddy currents would be highly appricieated.Thankyou so much in advance !! :D
tires have the MAX psi on them NOT recommended inflation pressure, the psi is on the door jam or in the glove box, or in the owners manual, but since its over sized i couldnt tell you, just wanted to point the psi thing out like the others so no one gets confused about that. also do not just guess, overinflating or underinflating tires is a bad thing make sure you get the correct psi and dont just go with someones guess (it could be 10psi off you never know) unless they know for sure. good luck
I know nothings about physics cause I'm in the 8th grade but copper is a really good conductor because how little resistance it has to electrical flow and things passing through it, I know that aluminum has a high resistance so maybe it's cause the aluminum is resisting more than the copper? Also the magnet could be wanting to stick or attach to the side of the aluminum
Magnet Falling Through Copper Tube
Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, but copper is better. A moving magnetic field generates an electric current and conversely an electric current creates a magnetic field (think electromagnet) Like magnetic poles repel and unlike fields attract. So.The falling magnet creates current which creates a counter magnetic force which affectgs the falling magnet. If you would build this in a circular pattern, and make the first magnet an electromagnet, then power it up you would have made an electric motor.
