The working of magnetic braking of trains is based on
- A Alternating current
- B Eddy current
- C Steady current
- D Pulsating current
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Eddy current
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
The working of magnetic braking of trains is based on Eddycurrents. Eddy current is induced in conductors by
changingmagnetic fields. They circulate in closed loops perpendicular to the plane of magnetic field.
