Eddy current - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An eddy current (also known as Foucault current ) is an electrical phenomenon discovered by French physicist François Arago in 1824. It is caused when a conductor is exposed to a changing magnetic...

What are eddy currents and how do eddy current brakes work? Asked by: Matt Behre ; Answer; An eddy current is a swirling current set up in a conductor in response to a changing magnetic field. By Lenz's law, the current swirls in such a way as to create a magnetic field opposing the change;

Eddy-current testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eddy-current testing uses electromagnetic induction to detect flaws in conductive materials. There are several limitations, among them: only conductive materials can be tested, the surface of the mat...

Eddy currents are useful to dissipate unwanted energy like the swinging arm of mechanical blance. Magnetics in the end of the balance support sets up eddy currents in a metal plate attached to the end of the arm.

The Eddy Current Demonstrator, prepared by The Magnet Source, and distributed by Edmund Scientific Co., makes the retarding effect of eddy currents very evident.

Because of the tendency of eddy currents to oppose, eddy currents cause energy to be lost. More accurately, eddy currents transform more useful forms of energy, such as kinetic energy, into heat, which is generally much less useful.

When a magnet is dropped down a metallic tube, the changing magnetic field created by the falling magnet pushes electrons in the metal tube around in circular, eddy-like currents. These eddy currents have their own magnetic field that opposes the fall of the magnet.

Uses of eddy currents ... Just like in our transformer experiment, these induced eddy currents generate their own magnetic field. After all, this is an actual electrical current and any current flowing in a conductor produces a magnetic field, right?
