Inducing a current

No problem.
The one big risk on this forum is over-answering questions. I'm sure it has given many A level students real headaches. "I only wanted to know . . . . . ."
Even when the questioner states his or her level of interest, that doesn't necessarily deter the enthusiastic contributor.
Good luck with the A level stuff.

For A-level purpose, yes, there is only a braking effect when the magnet enters and leaves the coil. I think you've got a pretty good grasp of this stuff. Good luck anyway, even though I don't think you'll need it :)
