I'm investigating the effect increasing the Current has on a particle that is freely oscillating between two springs, but is dampened by an electromagnetic dampener that is meant to model a linear viscous dampener. From this I am finding the damping ratio, and need to find a relation between an...

Hi guys, first time poster. My question is; How would a constant damping provided by an electromagnet affect the damping ratio (and logarithmic decrement) amplitude? And how would increasing the current through the electromagnet affect the damping? So far I've found Biot-Savart's Law which...
