Eddy Current Demonstration

Eddy Current Demonstration

Eddy Current Demonstration consists of:

• transverse fulcrum
• fulcrum bar
• baseplate with 4mm sockets for 8-12V DC and push button
• electromagnet
• aluminium damping pendulum
• aluminium non-damping pendulum

Eddy currents (also called Foucault’s currents) are loops of electrical current induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field in the conductor according to Faraday’s law of induction. Eddy currents flow in closed loops within conductors, in planes perpendicular to the magnetic field.
