Question

Difference between eddy current and induced current

Answer 1

eddy current damage. ... Eddy currents are induced circular currents in conductors exposed to an AC magnetic field. The term is often used for induced currents that cause unwanted heating and losses in conductors, e.g. in transformers and electrical machines.

Answer 2

The main difference between eddy current and induced current is that induced current refers to currents flowing in coils of wire in a closed circuit whereas eddy current refers to loops of currents flowing within pieces of larger conductors due to electromagnetic induction.
