Solution

The correct option is C Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
In a varying magnetic field the induced currents exhibit diamagnetic-like repulsion effects. A conductive object will experience a repulsion force.The magnetic flux developed around the coil being proportional to the amount of current flowing in the coils windings as shown. If additional layers of wire are wound upon the same coil with the same current flowing through them, the static magnetic field strength would be increased.
ReasonEddy currents are used for braking,since there is no contact with a brake shoe or drum, there is no mechanical wear . however an Eddy current brake cannot provide a "holding" torque and so may be used in combination with mechanical brakes.
Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect
