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.

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?
