Eddy Currents and Non Ferrous Metals.

Eddy currents can be induced in non-ferrous metals as demonstrated here.....(These currents produce magnetic fields which interact with each other)........

  • My text book dated 1898 entitled "Electrical Engineering" by Sligo and Brooker also  calls Eddy currents Foucault currents. We can call them that if preferred.

     

    Currents of Foucault


    Currents of Foucault

    Foucault currents are the currents induced in masses of conducting metal that are immersed in a variable magnetic field or that, in motion, through a constant or variable magnetic field. In any case, it is the variation of the magnetic flux that generates these currents. The phenomenon was discovered by the French physicist Jean Bernard Léon Foucault in 1851.
