So does this mean that eddy currents are created in a coil or no ?QuantumQuest said:Eddy currents are generated by induced EMF in the core or other metallic parts that happen to be inside the electromagnetic field of the coil. These currents circulate through the core or some metallic part and they oppose the flow of the induced current (they generate resistive heating and power loss).

Eddy currents are circular electric currents that are induced in a conductive material when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field.
Eddy currents are caused by the principle of electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces a current in a nearby conductive material.
Eddy currents have various applications, such as in electromagnetic braking systems, metal detectors, and non-destructive testing of materials.
Eddy currents can cause energy loss and heating in electrical devices, which can decrease their efficiency and potentially damage them.
Eddy currents can be reduced by using materials with high electrical resistivity, laminating conductive materials, and using magnetic shielding to block the changing magnetic field.
