When I move a conductor through a magnetic field, the change in magnetic field creates a net change in magnetic flux. The EMF that is induced by this changing flux creates tiny motional currents that are called . Eddy Currents Generating Currents Faraday Currents Lenz Currents Quantizing Currents

Eddy currents

Explanation:

When a magnetic flux linked across the coil changes, an induced emf is developed in the coil and hence the induced current is also developed in the coil.

If the induced current in the large conductor, the current is called eddy current. It produces the heating effect.

There are several applications of the eddy current.

(1) Electromagnetic brakes

(2) Induction furnace, etc.

To minimize the effect of eddy current we use choke coils, in which the core is made of laminated thin sheets.
