How should i correct speed to keep induction constant for different viscosities

AI Thread Summary
To maintain a constant induction speed for a magnet falling through coils submerged in liquids of varying viscosities, adjustments such as using a weaker magnet or adding resistance to the coil are suggested. The discussion highlights uncertainty about how to quantify these adjustments based on viscosity differences, specifically between liquids with viscosities of 1.0 and 0.50 pascal seconds. The original poster expresses confusion about whether their question is appropriate for the forum and seeks clarity on the relationship between viscosity and the required resistance changes. There is a call for equations or factors that could help determine the necessary adjustments for different viscosities. Overall, the conversation revolves around finding a method to balance the effects of liquid viscosity on the magnet's fall rate through the coil.

So i am going to be dropping a magnet through a coil that is a submerged in a liquid. Say that this liquid is 100% lemon juice, how would i get the magnet to approximately fall through the coil at the same rate for the submerged coil and a coil that is not submerged?

Does my question not make sense or is something wrong with it?
 
I don't know, it may have been overlooked... but there doesn't seem to be much to it. You'd just use a weaker magnet, or add resistance to the coil, when it's falling through the liquid.

I have lots of ideas on how to do it but I do not know by what factor, or how to get viscosity into the equation.
 
Its been a week since my original post, is this in the wrong section?

I accept with information: it may have been overlooked but there doesn't seem to be much to it. You'd just use a weaker magnet, or add resistance to the coil.

Again, I already have different ideas about how I should adjust the setup to balance the viscosity, but I do not know by how much I should adjust it. Say I have liquid with a viscosity of 1.0 pascal seconds and another with 0.50 pascal seconds, I am using a hypothetical coil with zero resistance, by how much should the resistance be increased for the substance with viscosity of 1? Is there no equation for this?
