Question 1

A copper disc is attached to a laboratory flywheel. The disc is an electrical conductor.

As the flywheel rotates, part of the disc passes between the poles of a stationary magnet without touching it. The flywheel stops sooner when the magnet is in position than when the magnet is removed.

Explain how energy is transferred as the flywheel slows while the magnet is in position.
