Solution

The correct option is A True
True

Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within conductor by changing magnetic field in the inductor due to Faraday’s law of induction. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field.

Q. Statement-1: The core of the transformer is laminated to avoid loss of energy.
Statement-2: A laminated metal sheet placed in a changing magnetic field has lower eddy current.

Q. Assertion :In a varying magnetic field the induced currents exhibit diamagnetic-like repulsion effects. A conductive object will experience a repulsion force. Reason: Eddy currents produced in conductor will produce magnetic field to oppose the varying magnetic field according to faradays law

Q. A metal block is placed in a non-uniform magnetic field, whose magnitude is steadily increasing with time. The direction of eddy currents induced in the block, as seen from above, will be

Q. Assertion :Self-induced eddy currents are responsible for the skin effect in conductors.It cannot be used for non-destructive testing of materials for geometry features, like micro-cracks. Reason: By Lenz's law, an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field that created it, and thus eddy currents react back on the source of the magnetic field.

Q. Assertion :A nearby conductive surface will exert a drag force on a moving magnet that opposes its motion, due to eddy currents induced in the surface by the moving magnetic field. Reason: Eddy current is a dissipative current
