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. ... This effect is employed in eddy current brakes which are used to stop rotating power tools quickly when they are turned off



Eddy currents are the currents induced in a metallic plate when it is kept in a time varying magnetic field. Magnetic flux linked with the plate changes and so the induced current is set up. ... Induction Motor: The eddy currents may be used to rotate the rotor.
