Example sentences for "eddy currents"

  • The iron core of a transformer acts as a closed conductor in which small pressures of different values are induced in different parts by the alternating field, giving rise to eddy currents.

  • These bolts pass under the discs, so that there is no danger of their giving rise to eddy currents.

  • This mass is magnetically subdivided into so many small parts that the heating effect of eddy currents is reduced to a minimum.

  • For example in a heavy multicore cable the non-uniformity of current density in any core may be considered as partly due to eddy currents induced by the currents in the neighboring cores and partly to the self-induced eddy current.

  • It is due to eddy currents induced in the conductor.

  • Induced electric currents, known as eddy currents, occur when a solid metallic mass is rotated in a magnetic field.

  • Foucault showed by experiment the heating effect of eddy currents, but such currents were known years before Foucault's experiments, hence they are incorrectly called Foucault currents.

  • Sheets of thin paper insulate each disc from its neighbors to prevent the flow of eddy currents.

  • The moving coil is wound upon a form of aluminum, which serves the purpose of damping by the generation of eddy currents.

  • The currents generated in the disc armature consist of eddy currents, which circulate within the mass of the disc.

  • The field magnet cores and pole pieces, as well as the armature of a dynamo are subject to eddy currents, that is, induced electric currents occurring when a solid metallic mass is rotated in a magnetic field.

  • If the weights descended slowly and uniformly, this work was all expended in overcoming the resistance of the water to the motion of the paddle-wheels through it; that is, it was wasted in eddy currents in the water.

  • Eddy currents induced in pole pieces by movement of masses of iron.
