The following data shows the conductivity of 5 metals and the rate of change in gravitational potential energy due to induced current when the metal is passed through a electromagnetic field of 5.4mT on the end of a pendulum. you know, the classic eddy current experiment.
I'm just wondering if anyone knew an equation linking the conductivity and rate of energy disipation? It looks like an exponential relationship to me. Anyone know exactly what it is? Would be really helpful! cheers
Material Rate of change in Gravitational conductivity
potential energy(10^-4J/s) (10^6 siemens/m)
Steel 3.53 1.5
Nickel silver 3.62 3.5
Zinc 3.71 17
Aluminium 4.47 35
Copper 8.46 58
