Question

Eddy currents travel in

• A. closed circular paths.
• B. converging straight paths
• C. parallel straight paths.
• D. diverging straight paths.

Answer 1

The correct option is A closed circular paths.

When there is a change in magnetic flux associated with a large piece of metal then currents are induced in that metal, these currents are travelling in a closed circular path, similar to whirlpools or eddies in water.

Such currents are known as eddy currents.

Hence, option $\left(A\right)$ is the correct answer.
