Circulating currents within inductor core material caused by magnetic lines of force cutting across the core in a direction which induces a voltage in the core material.
electric currents, similar to small whirlpools, with swirling-like properties and a vertical pull at the centre
Currents that flow in a substance from variations in magnetic induction. See also Lenz Effect. Laminates are used to prevent eddy currents, which cause physical and electrical resistance in an alternator or transformer, therefore wasting power.
Induced currents circulating throughout the cores of transformers, etc., as a result of changing magnetic flux.
Small circulating currents of electricity.
Currents induced by unwanted inductive coupling between adjacent conductors.
electric currents induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field or by motion of the conductor through a magnetic field. One of the sources of concern about potential hazard to subjects in very high magnetic fields or rapidly varying gradient or main magnetic fields. Can be a practical problem in the cryostat of superconducting magnets, in particular for localized spectroscopy. Can be reduced by the use of shielded gradients.
are circulating electrical currents that are induced in electrically conductive elements when exposed to changing magnetic fields, creating an opposing force to the magnetic flux. Eddy currents can be harnessed to perform useful work (such as dampening of movement), or may be unwanted consequences of certain designs, which should be accounted for of minimized.
Currents induced in the body of a conducting mass by a variation in magnetic flux.
A circulating current induced in a conducting material by a varying magnetic field.
The electrical currents induced in the ground, or other conductors, by a time-varying electromagnetic field (usually the primary field). Eddy currents are also induced in the aircraft’s metal frame and skin; a source of noise in EM surveys.
Induced currents flowing in a core.
Small circulating currents produced on the surface of metal by the transmitted electromagnetic field. These currents then produce a secondary electromagnetic field which is then detected by the search coil receiver windings resulting in inductive imbalance between the windings.
Circular induced currents that are generated by an alternating current in the nearby coil. (Basic Science/Electricity/eddycurrents.htm)
Currents induced into a conducting core due to the changing magnetic field. Eddy currents produce heat which is a loss of power and lowers the efficiency of an inductor.
