What is Eddy Current?

Eddy currents are circulating currents induced in the body of a solid conductor whenever the magnetic flux linked with it changes. It is called EDDY CURRENT because they are like eddies formed in water.

Electric Current and flow of electrons

I have read that the FLOW OF ELECTRONS is called electricity. I wanna know that what is meant by flow of electrons? Pleaz answer me….

(Asked Kiruthika)

Answer:

Electric current is the flow of charges. (Measured as the rate of flow of charges).

In conductors electric current is caused by the flow of free electrons. When a potential difference is applied across a conductor, the electrons are accelerated towards the positive potential. (But, due to the presence of plenty of electrons, they cannot move with acceleration as they collide with each other during their motion.) There is a net drift of electrons across any cross section and a current is developed.

Coulombian force and conductor

what’s effect of  coulombic forces on conductor medium ? amk niazi Ans: In a conductor, the coulombian  repulsive forces  pushes the valence electrons and the electrons move away from the center to the surface ie from the region of stronger force to the region of lesser force, creating a Faraday cage   Incoming search terms:what’s effect of coulombic forces on conductor [...]
