Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Change in magnetic flux.
CONCEPT:
Eddy current:
- When a metal moves in a magnetic field or when the magnetic field through a stationary metal is altered, an induced current is produced in the metal.
- This induced current flows in the metal in the form of closed loops resembling ‘eddies’ or whirlpool.
- Hence this current is called eddy current.
- The direction of the eddy current is given by Lenz’s law.
EXPLANATION:
- When a changing magnetic flux is applied to a bulk piece of conducting material then circulating currents is called eddy currents are induced in the material. Therefore option is 2 correct.
