Eddy Current- Definition- Easy Words

Share this post on:

Eddy current is a type of current which produces when a conductor is moving through a magnetic field, or when the magnetic field surrounding a stationary conductor is varying.
The size of the eddy current is proportional to the size of the magnetic field, the area of the loop, and the rate of change of magnetic flux, and inversely proportional to the resistivity of the conductor.

Eddy current is a type of current that occurs when a conductor moves through a magnetic field or when the magnetic field around a stationary conductor varies.
