An iron bar falling vertically through the hollow region of a thick cylindrical shell made of copper experiences a retarding force and attains a terminal velocity. What can you conclude about the iron bar?

This shows that the iron bar is magnetic as when it falls through a conducting cylinder it brings change in flux and according to Lenz's law the induced emf in the conducting cylinder tries to retard the motion of the falling magnet.
