Eddy currents comes in picture only when there is change in linked magnetic flux. Thus statement A is wrong.
Which of the following law follows when eddy currents are generated?
-
Lenz's law
-
Gauss's law
-
Both A and B
-
None of these
Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field.By Lenz's law, an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the change in the magnetic field that created it, and thus eddy currents react back on the source of the magnetic field.Lenz law, the current swirls in such a way as to create a magnetic field opposing the change; for this to occur in a conductor, electrons swirl in a plane perpendicular to the magnetic field.
Which of the following is true in context of Eddy currents?
-
By Lenz's law, an eddy current creates a magnetic field that opposes the magnetic field that created it.
-
Eddy 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 currents are a cause of energy loss in alternating current (AC) inductors, transformers, electric motors and generators etc.
-
All of the above

Eddy currents travel in
-
closed paths.
-
nonconductive materials.
-
axially when testing rod with an encircling coil
-
perpendicular to the test surface
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 and Eddy Currents
Hysteresis loss and eddy current losses are used in
-
induction heating of steel
-
dielectric heating
-
induction heating of brass
-
none of the above
There is a magnetic loss occur in ferromagnetic material like iron and steel in form of heat these losses are used for induction heating and cooking. For example $\rightarrow$ heating of transformer.
Which of the following is not an application of eddy currents.
-
Induction heater
-
Conductivity meters for non-magnetic metals
-
Skin effect
-
Coating Thickness Measurements
Silicon steel used in lamination mainly reduces
-
Hysteresis loss
-
Eddy current losses
-
Copper loss
-
All of the above
Silicon steel used in lamination mainly reducesHysteresis loss,Eddy current losses,Copper loss. In order to minimize the eddy currents more,magnetic core is laminated . The hysteresis coefficient of silicon steel is less, so hysteresis loss can be reduced. used mainly because of the following advantages: low hysteresis loss. low copper loss due to lower grain resistance.
