Question

What are eddy currents? Write any two applications of eddy currents.

✓

Answer

When a bulk piece of conductor is subjected to changing magnetic flux, the induced currents, developed in it is called Eddy current.
uses:

Magnetic brakes in trains.
Electromagnetic damping.
Induction furnaces.
Electric power meter.
Induction therapy.
To find the melting point of precious metals.
In speedometer of vehicles.

A short bar magnet placed in a horizontal plane has its axis aligned along the magnetic north-sourth direction. Null points are found on the axis of the magnet at 14 cm from the centre of the magnet. The earth's magnetic field at the place is 0.36 G and the angle of dip is zero. What is the total magnetic field on the normal bisector of the magnet at the same distance as the null points (i.e. 14 cm) from the centre of the magnet? (at null points, field due to a magnet is equal and opposite to the horizontal component of earth's magnetic field).
