Abstract

A simple theory of magnetic braking in a thin metal strip is proposed. The predictions of the model are compared to experiment and good agreement is obtained. The experimental tests were conducted by spinning a thin aluminum disk of large radius between the pole pieces of an electromagnet. A field range of 0 to 150 mT was used.
