ID Code: K2-44
Purpose: Shows the damping of pendula due to eddy currents
Description: Pendula with bobs of different materials and geometries are swung through the poles of a strong horseshoe magnet. The amount of damping is greater for those bobs in which strong eddy currents can flow. Bobs include, solid copper, copper loop, broken copper loop, laminated copper, copper with central hole, aluminum, and wood.
