Fun With Eddy Current

Fun With Eddy Current Eddy Current Let us perform a fun experiment with eddy current.   An eddy current is a circular electric current induced inside a conducting material when the magnetic field around or through that material changes. Unlike current in a wire, which travels along a defined path, eddy currents swirl within the… Continue reading Fun With Eddy Current

Eddy Current What Are Eddy Currents? An eddy current is a circular electric current induced inside a conducting material when the magnetic field around or through that material changes. Unlike current in a wire, which travels along a defined path, eddy currents swirl within the body of a metal such as copper, aluminum, or iron.… Continue reading Eddy Current
