Eddy Currents Induced by a Time-Varying Magnetic Field

In electric machines, there are two common causes of eddy currents: (1) time-varying currents in coils, and (2) motion of conductors relative to sources of magnetic field. In this post, we show how to estimate the current density arising from a time-varying magnetic field passing through a plate.

Still of current density due to oscillating magnetic field. Results generated using Ansoft Maxwell from ANSYS.
