Emilee Terrell · Answer 1

When aluminum begins to fall and move towards the field, the currents found in it begin to have an effect on Aluminum. Said magnetic field what it will do is generate a slowing force on the plate that acts with the current of the electroiman and will slow down its fall. Similarly, when the plate leaves the magnetic field, a current is induced and, once again, there is an upward force to reduce the speed of the plate.

Therefore the correct answer is A. Yes.
