Eddy Current
plates moves through region of magnetic
field ,
magnetic flux through an area bounded by
a random loop on metal plate changes.

Hence a current is induced.

Induced current appears on surface along

variety of paths.

System itself looks for loops on surface.

Induced current ⇒ Thermal energy ⇒ Damping of K.E.

swings more freely through the magnetic field

Eddy Current
Eddy currents have both undesirable effects and
practically useful applications.

Applications of eddy currents :

(i) Induction furnace

(ii) Electromagnetic damping
(iii)Magnetic brakes
(iv)Speedometers
(v) Induction motor
(vi)Electromagnetic shielding Induction Furnace
(vii)Inductothermy
(viii)Energy meters
Eddy Current
● These currents are produced only in closed path within the entire
volume and on the surface of metal body. Therefore their
measurement is impossible.

● Circulation plane of these currents is always perpendicular to the

external field direction.

● Generally resistance of metal bodies is low so magnitude of these

currents is very high.

● These currents heat up the metal body and some time body will melt
out (Application : Induction furnace)

● Due to these induced currents a strong eddy force (or torque) acts
on metal body which always opposes the translatory (or rotatory)
motion of metal body, according to lenz.
Example A thin sheet of conductor, when allowed to oscillate in a
magnetic field normal to the sheet, then the motion is-

A. damped due to air friction

B. damped due to eddy currents

C. accelerated due to eddy currents

D. damped due to air friction

Example A conducting rod of resistance r moves uniformly with a
constant speed v in magnetic field B normal to the plane of
its motion. What force shall be applied on the rod in order
to keep it moving uniformly

A. B.

l C. D. Zero
R v
Example Conducting Rod of negligible resistance moves with
initial speed vo. If no force is applied on the rod to
maintain this speed, what will be the speed of rod after
a time
A. B. vo/2

l C. D. None
R v
Example A conducting wire of length l, resistance R and mass m starts
sliding at t = 0 down a smooth, vertical, thick pair of connected
rails as shown in figure. A uniform magnetic field B exists in the
space in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the rails.
The speed of wire when it moves uniformly is:
