Terminal speed of a falling conducting loop

If
a
loop of resistance
R
has
magnetic flux
Φ
B
=
−
k
z
, then its induced current is
I
=
k
z
˙
/
R
. When its magnetic
force
is
−
k
I
in the vertical direction, its
equation
under
gravity
is
m
z
¨
=
−
m
g
−
R
k
2
z
˙
,
(1)
so its downward terminal
speed
is
R
m
g
/
k
2
.
