    Magnets down a copper tube and Lenz's law.

    Right. I know if you drop a strong magnet down a copper tube (or conductive but non magnetic tube) it falls slowly as it 'sees' a changing magnetic field and thus induces a current in the tube and this induced current causes its own magnetic field to be induced and acts a resistive force to the...
