Eddy currents are circular electric currents that are induced in a conductor when it is placed in a changing magnetic field.
Eddy currents are circular because they are caused by the interaction between changing magnetic fields and conductors. The circular motion is a result of the conductor's electrons being pushed by the changing magnetic field in a circular path.
Eddy currents are different from regular electric currents because they are induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field, rather than by a direct electrical connection. They also tend to flow in circular patterns, while regular electric currents follow a specific path.
Eddy currents have various applications, including braking systems in trains and roller coasters, metal detectors, induction heating, and magnetic levitation in high-speed trains.
Yes, eddy currents can be controlled or minimized by using materials with low electrical conductivity, laminating conductive materials, or by using magnetic shields to redirect the magnetic field away from the conductor.
