The bob of a simple pendulum is replaced by a magnet. The oscillations are set along the length of the magnet. A copper coil is added so that one pole of the magnet passes in and out of the coil. The coil is short-circuited. Then which one of the following happens

  • A

    Period decreases

  • B

    Period does not change

  • C

    Oscillations are damped

  • D
