What are eddy currents? Who discovered eddy currents?
(N/A) Eddy currents are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor,according to Faraday's law of induction.
These currents flow in closed loops within conductors,in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field.
They were discovered by the French physicist $Léon$ $Foucault$ in $1851$.
