Sample some different years if you can. But place a magnet near copper or aluminum and there is no force of attraction. I mentioned copper and aluminum because they are common conductors that we use in electrostatics work. And if you move a magnet near a conductor, then something happens. The moving magnet sets up a voltage, which in turn causes a current.
Charges flow in the adjacent conductor.
This induced charge flow is called an eddy current. At our meeting I dropped one of these magnets into a piece of one-half inch copper water pipe, which I held vertically. The magnet fell through, but because of eddy currents and the forces, it fell through very slowly. The same magnet falling four feet in open air would take half a second. These magnets can be used to perform dozens of striking experiments.
