Lecture

Effect of Eddy Currents

Description

This lecture demonstrates the effect of eddy currents using a descent experiment with a strong magnet on three different plates: aluminum, resin, and copper. The magnet descends at different speeds due to the conductivity of the plates, creating eddy currents that transform potential energy into kinetic and thermal energy.
