I've got a rather simple inquiry, but I haven't been able to get a straight answer via Google searches.
When evaluating the impedance of an inductor, do eddy currents represent a series resistance through, or a parallel resistance around the ideal inductor?
I've read that eddy currents are resistive, suggesting they are a series resistance, but also that they "short circuit" the inductor, which would imply passage around the inductor, so I'm not sure which is the case.
