5K20.25 Magnets and Tube

Drop the slug magnet through the tube. It will slowly descend due to eddy currents. Rolling the magnetic ball down the trough produces a similar but more visible effect. The brass ball can be used as a comparison. Magnetic paper can be wrapped around the tube to show the descending field lines.
