  • The subject and application of physical concepts such as impulse and harmonic motion are common to physics content for a broad range of levels. For the behavior of oscillations, it is standard to expound on frictional damping leading to exponential decay in amplitude and mechanical energy. Faraday’s induction is likewise ubiquitous in the realm of electromagnetism. In this article, we combine the three concepts of impulse, damping, and induction in a consideration of discrete behavior as opposed to one that is continuous, for instructional use that can range from demonstration to student projects.
