Spherical insulating ball and a spherical metallic ball of same size and mass are dropped from the same height. Choose the correct statement out of the following (Assume negligible air friction)

Pick an option to check your answer.

Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Insulating ball will reach the earth's surface earlier than the metal ball

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

When metal is passing through magnetic field, eddy current will produce and it will oppose the motion, so it will take more time.
