Consider a metallic pipe with ah inner radius of 1 cm. If a cylindrical bar magnet of radius 0.8 cm is dropped through the pipe, it takes more time to come down than it takes for a similar un-magnetised cylindrical iron bar dropped through the metallic pipe. Explain.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
When cylindrical bar magnet of radius 0.8 cm is dropped through the metallic pipe with an inner radius of 1 cm, flux linked with the cylinder changes and consequently eddy currents are produced in the metallic pipe. According to Lenz's law, these currents will oppose the (cause) motion of the magnet.
Therefore, magnet's downward acceleration will be less than the acceleration due to gravity g. On the other hand, an non magnetised iron bar will not produce eddy currents and will fall with an acceleration due to gravity g.
Thus, the magnet will take more time to come down
