CHAPTER XXI.

(2) Consider the earth's field and the magnetisation of the soft iron due to this.

(6) This is an example of Lenz's law.

(2) Eddy currents arise.

CHAPTER XXII.

(3) Induction; Lenz's law.

(4) By magnetic induction the field due to the magnet is altered.

(6) Eddy currents arise, and Lenz's law holds.

(7) (i.) Hardly any extra current; (ii.) decided extra current; (iii.) still greater extra current.

(8) Slower vibration. Compare with Question 6.

(9) Still slower vibration.

(10) Observe that with suitable pole downwards the vibrations may even be stopped altogether.
