Given below are two statements:
Assertion (A): A bar magnet is dropped into a long vertical copper tube. Even if air resistance is negligible, the magnet attains a constant terminal velocity. If the tube is heated, the terminal velocity increases.
Reason (R): The terminal velocity is independent of the eddy currents produced in the copper tube.
 
1. Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
2. Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A).
3. (A) is True but (R) is False.
