SUMMARY
Eddy currents can exist in various geometries, including spheres and cones, contrary to the common examples that typically feature flat objects like coins. The analysis of eddy currents in these complex shapes is more challenging and generally necessitates the use of numerical methods for accurate results. This confirms that the principles governing eddy currents are applicable beyond simple geometries.
