A magnet moving inside a non-magnetic conductive tube has its motion retarded. Retardation force is proportional to velocity of magnet- viscous damping.
This damping force can be described as a viscous force due to the dependence on the velocity of the conductor.
One major advantage of ECD's is their linearity
This process of the generation and dissipation of eddy current causes the system to function as a viscous damper
