Physics Question on Electromagnetic induction

A magnet is dropped down an infinitely long vertical copper tube. Then

A

the magnet moves with continuously increasing velocity and ultimately acquires a constant terminal velocity

B

the magnet moves with continuously decreasing velocity and ultimately comes to rest

C

the magnet moves with continuously increasing velocity but constant acceleration

D

the magnet moves continuously increasing velocity and acceleration.

Answer

the magnet moves with continuously increasing velocity and ultimately acquires a constant terminal velocity

Explanation

Solution

The induced e.m.f. starts opposing the motion.
