Question
Figure shows a car sticking to an electromagnet. Name the forces acting on the car. Which one of them is larger?
Solution
The forces working on the car are
- Force of gravity (downwards)
- Magnetic force (upwards)
Since, the car is moving upwards, so magnetic force due to the electromagnet is greater.
