1.1.1 It seems simpler to find the magnetic induction of the ring with the current using Biot-Savart law and the superposition principle. The projection of the magnetic field vector generated by an arbitrary element of the ring is found as

Using the geometry, one obtains
Summation over all elements of the ring is held elementary to eventually get
At it simplifies to
and finally,


1.1.2 It is obvious that the resulting Ampere force is due to the radial component of the magnetic field vector. At a short distance from the axis this component can be expressed in terms of the axial component of the field with the help of the magnetic flux theorem.
Selecting the surface shaped as a thin cylinder whose axis coincides with the axis of the field, then writing the expression for the magnetic flux through this surface and equating it to zero yields
It is thus found from this equation that
Using Ampere's law, it is easy to write the equation for the force acting on the ring as
1.2.1 The frequency of oscillations is determined by the well-known formula for the oscillation frequency of the spring pendulum

1.2.2 The feedback mechanism from the disc to the magnet is described as follows: when the magnet moves the rotational electric field is induced in the disk which gives rise to eddy currents. The magnetic field of those eddy currents is a source of force acting on the magnet. For the calculation of the magnetic field generated by eddy currents in the disk, it should be noted that the size of the disk is small compared with the distance to the magnet, so the disk can also be considered as a magnetic dipole. Therefore, it suffices to find the induced magnetic moment of the disk, and then to use formula (4) for calculation of the induction field.
Let us consider a thin ring of radius and thickness . The strength of the vortex electric field within this ring is found from Faraday's law of induction as:
It is assumed here that within the entire disc one can neglect the variation of the axial component of the magnetic field generated by the magnet, which is also determined by formula (4). Thus, if the magnet coordinate is , then the magnetic field at its position is obtained as
Substituting this expression into (10) and calculating the derivative gives rise to
In the last formula it is taken into account that .
The current density in the ring under consideration is determined by Ohm's law as
Since the current in the ring is , the magnetic moment of the ring is equal to
Integrating over the disk, one obtains its total magnetic moment as:
To calculate the force acting on the magnet, formula (8) is applied wherein the magnitude of the magnetic field induction is calculated by formula (4). These substitutions lead to the expression
The equation of the magnet motion with the influence of the disc has the form
where is the coefficient determined in formula (16).
1.2.3 Using the solution of the equation of attenuating oscillations provided in the problem formulation, one gets
where . From this expression the relative frequency shift is found as
1.2.4 The characteristic attenuation time is thus equal to
1.2.5 According to Joule’s law, the instantaneous power of heat loss in the disk is derived as
and is equal to the product of force (16) on the magnet speed.
Part 2: Electric
2.1.1 The electric field of the dipole is calculated according to the principle of superposition as
At rather large , it simplifies to

Thus,
2.2.1 Let us derive an expression for the force exerted on the ball by the disc.
The electric field inside the conducting disc should be absent. The field of the point charge induces the surface charge densities on the disc surfaces, which generate an electric field equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the field of the point charge. Given that the size of the disk is small compared to the charge separation, it is possible to neglect the variation electric field vector at the site of the disc. Therefore, the field should be considered uniform, and the surface density of the induced charges should be treated constant.
The electric field strength of the point charge is determined by the formula , and the electric field strength of the induced charges is related to their surface density as . Equating these two expression the surface density of the induced charges is found as and the magnitude of the induced charge on each side of the disc , where stands for the disc area. Thus, the induced dipole moment of the disc is finally obtained as
Therefore, the force acting on the ball is
Since the ball moves, in the last formula should be replaced by . Given that the resulting expression for the force simplifies to
The equation of the ball motion in this case takes the form
The first term results in the additional displacement of the equilibrium position, which, within the approximations used, is equal to
2.2.2 The second term in equation (24) determines the frequency shift of the oscillations as
which yields the relative frequency shift in the form
2.2.3 The surface charge density σ on the disk surface changes due to the current in the disc, which is determined by the electric field strength in the disk (). The electric field in the disc is generated by the ball
and the oppositely directed field of the induced charges
Ohm's law can be thus written as
Taking into account the equalities and () he required equation is finally derived as
2.2.4
2.2.5 or ..
2.2.6 For harmonic oscillations, the ratio of the amplitude of to the amplitude of is equal to ,, i.e. it is very small. Therefore, the zero-order approximation in the equation
the first member can be neglected to yield
The next approximation is obtained by substituting into the initial equation
Note that the solution using the vector diagram is also possible.
2.2.7 The force exerted on the ball by the disk is
The equation of motion of the ball is thus written as
or
2.2.8
2.2.9 According to Joule’s law, the instant power heat production in the disk is found as
which is again equal to the power of force ().
