Question

Read the following statements and answer whether the given statement is true or false.

Eddy current involves loss of energy in the form of heat.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Eddy currents (also called Foucault currents) are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor due to Faraday's law of induction.

Eddy current involves loss of energy in the form of heat. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field. They can be induced within nearby stationary conductors by a time-varying magnetic field created by an AC electromagnet or transformer.

The statement is true.
