Explanation

Solution

Eddy currents are produced when a metal sheet is placed in a changing magnetic field. In the metal sheet, we can consider closed loops as shown in the figure, through which an induced current flows due to a change of magnetic flux. This current is called eddy current and it gives rise to loss of thermal energy.
