Discussion Overview

The discussion centers on the dominance of eddy currents versus hysteresis in induction cooking, specifically examining the effects at frequencies in the range of 30-50 KHz. Participants explore the implications of these effects in the context of induction cooktops.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • Some participants assert that eddy currents are the dominant effect in induction cooking, while hysteresis plays a minimal role.
  • There is a specific inquiry about the frequency range of 30-50 KHz and its relevance to the dominance of these effects.
  • Some participants suggest that further research, such as consulting tutorials or Wikipedia, could provide additional insights.
  • Questions are raised regarding the context of the inquiry, including whether it is related to a school assignment or a practical application.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants express differing views on the dominance of eddy currents versus hysteresis, indicating that the discussion remains unresolved with multiple competing perspectives.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not provided detailed definitions or assumptions regarding the terms "eddy current" and "hysteresis," and the discussion lacks clarity on the specific conditions under which these effects are evaluated.

In induction cooking which effect is more dominant.EDDY CURRENT OR HYSTERESIS and at which range of frequencies?

What is the context of your question? Are you building an induction cooktop?
 
A sort of and i want to know about which effect is dominant at frequencies in range of 30-50 KHz.
 
Eddy currents. Hysteresis to a very little extent, if it really does. You would have got easily an answer if you had tried the wiki.

Is this for a schoolwork assignment?
 
A search on 'induction heating" takes one directly to several tutorials..
