Magnetic plate eddy current braking effect on a copper disc

[QUOTE="anorlunda, post: 5984084, member: 455902"] :welcome: The braking effect should be reciprocal. All motion is relative in any case. But eddy currents require some depth to be significant. A thin foil would not be an effective eddy current brake. So the same applies to particles; the braking force reduces when the diameter is small. The braking effect also reduces with the distance between the metals, so a disk placed flat will be more powerful than the same mass shaped as a sphere. If you want more detail than that, you must be more specific in your question. [/QUOTE]
