A thin strip 10 cm long is on a U shaped wire of negligible resistance and it is connected to a spring of spring constant 0.5 Nm−1 (see figure). The assembly is kept in a uniform magnetic field of 0.1 T. If the strip is pulled from its equilibrium position and released, the number of oscillation it performs before its amplitude decreases by a factor of e is N. If the mass of the strip is 50 grams, its resistance 10Ω and air drag negligible, N will be close to : [8 April 2019 (Morning)]
