Question

The motion of a copper plate is damped when it is allowed to
oscillate between the two poles of a magnet If slots are cut in the
plate, how will the damping be affected?

Amogh Arvind Sahastrabudhe · Accepted Answer

When a copper plate is allowed to oscillate between the two poles
of a magnet, oscillations are damped due to effect of
eddy current If slots are cut in the plate the current
loops produced will be small due to small available area,
then the damping of oscillations will be
less
