AI Thread Summary
Eddy currents can be generated in various geometries, including spheres and cones, although the analysis of these shapes is more complex than for flat objects. Numerical methods are often required to accurately study eddy currents in non-flat geometries. Understanding the principles behind eddy currents remains essential, regardless of the object's shape. The discussion confirms that while the foundational concepts apply universally, practical applications may vary. Overall, eddy currents are not limited to flat objects.

Hey guys I'm looking for. Some more info on eddies current. I understand how it works but all the examples I see use flat objects (coin shaped). Will eddies current still work in shapes like a sphere or cone?
Thank you,
Zig

Yes, eddy currents can exist in any geometry; the analysis is more difficult, and usually requires numerical methods.
 
Ok thank you!

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
