Show the mark scheme answer
6.0 V.
2. State Lenz's law. (1 mark)
Show the mark scheme answer
The induced emf acts to oppose the change causing it.
3. Explain why a magnet falls slowly through a copper tube. (2 marks)
Show the mark scheme answer
Changing flux induces eddy currents (1) whose fields oppose the motion (1).
