To determine

The correct direction of eddy current.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Figure P30.27 represents an electromagnetic brake that uses eddy currents. An electromagnet hangs from a railroad car near one rail. To stop the car, a large current is sent through the coils of the electromagnet. The moving electromagnet induces eddy currents in the rails, whose fields oppose the change in the electromagnet’s field. The magnetic fields of the eddy currents exert force on the current in the electromagnet, thereby slowing the car. The direction of the car’s motion and the direction of the current in the electromagnet are shown correctly in the picture. Determine which of the eddy currents shown on the rails is correct. Explain your answer.
(a) How do we know if electrons moving in a certain region of space are being deflected by an electric field or a magnetic field (or both)? (b) Why is iron magnetic and wood not? (c) Dropping an iron magnet on hard ground weakens it. Why?
The 10-cm-wide, zero-resistance wire shown is pushed toward the 2.0 Ω resistor at a steady speed of 0.50 m/s. The magnetic field strength is 0.50 T.a. What is the magnitude of the pushing force?b. How much power does the pushing force supply to the wire?c. What are the direction and magnitude of the induced current?d. How much power is dissipated in the resistor?
