I think, I've figured it out a bit: my understanding of back-e.m.f was wrong. The standard interpretation of back-emf is that it's a voltage.. similar to the stuff below.. http://electricalandelectronics.org/2009/09/04/back-or-counter-e-m-f/ "When the armature of a d.c. motor rotates under...

I'm thinking in terms of Lenz's law and back e.m.f; that eddy current is setup because of a need to oppose a changing magnetic field - it would then have a resulting back e.m.f/voltage associated with it. Now your body is at 0V therefore there is potential difference between the base of the...

Or perhaps you do get a bad shock if you try to cook barefoot, with a metal spoon.. (but that sounds rather dangerous - like cooking with a live wire) does anyone have such a cooker? you could test with a multimeter..

hi, glad to be here. That doesn't sound right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating (special pans are metal/ferromagnetic pans) What I don't follow is why the current won't leave the vessel and flow through you..

Anyone know anything about induction cookers? Induction cooking? What if the lady sticks a metal spoon to stir the pan and is bare-foot? What prevents the eddy current from breaking out of the loop given the new path your body provides?
