Abstract :
The influence of Foucault losses on the motion of a conductor is investigated for the simple case of a small loop moving in the (primary) field of a magnetic dipole. Numerical data are given for the trajectory, the induced current and the magnetic force. Two types of motion are considered: a translation with assigned velocity ν0 and a translation governed by the sole action of the magnetic force
