Induced circulating currents in a conducting material that are caused by a varying magnetic field.
Resistance technology that works electromagnetically with a precision-balanced aluminum disk spinning freely between variable magnetic fields. Because it has few moving parts and no friction, eddy current resistance technology is extremely reliable and du
an induced spurious electrical current produced by time-varying magnetic fields. Eddy currents can cause artifacts in images and may seriously degrade overall magnet performance.
a closed loop current that flows in a conductor, such as the iron core of a coil of an electromagnetic brake plate, when there is relative motion between the object and a magnetic field
a local electric current induced in a conductive material by the magnetic field produced by the active coil
a phenomenon caused by a moving magnetic field In physics, a magnetic field is an entity produced by moving electric charges (electric currents) that exerts a force on other moving charges
a rolling wind current that flows downward and back to the back side of the fence
a swirling current set up in a conductor in response to a changing magnetic field
A vortex-type motion of a fluid flowing contrary to the main current, such as the rotational water movement that occurs when the main flow becomes separated from the bank.
Induced voltage in the core as a result of transformer operation. The currents move through the core in circular paths.
an AC current setup near the surface of a conductor exposed to an electromagnetic field
Electrical current which is generated (and dissipated) in a conductive material in the presence of an electromagnetic field.
Localized currents induced in an iron core by alternating magnetic flux. These currents translate into losses (heat) and their minimization is an important factor in lamination design.
Current induced in a magnetic core which are generated by the lines of flux passing through the magnetic material. The currents generate heat and are part of the total AC loss within a magnetic system.
Circulating current produced in connecting materials by a varying magnetic field. Eddy currents are undesirable in the core of a transformer.
An eddy current (also known as Foucault current) phenomenon discovered by French physicist Léon Foucault in 1851, is caused by a moving magnetic field intersecting a conductor or vice-versa. The relative motion causes a circulating flow of electrons, or current, within the conductor. These circulating eddies of current create electromagnets with magnetic fields that oppose the change in the external magnetic field (see Lenz's law).
