When a metallic block moves in a magnetic field induced currents are developed in the body of the block.
a. What is this type of current called?
b. Which law gives the direction of such currents?
c. What is the strength of the induced current?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

a. Eddy currents
b. Lenz.s law
c. Since the metallic block has very small resistance, strength of eddy current will be very large.
