उत्तर २
Uses of Eddy Current:-
- Induction furnace:- The heating effect of eddy current is used for melting metal in induction furnace.
- Electric Brakes:- It is an efficient system of brakes employed in electric trains when the train is to be stopped, a strong magnetic field is applied to the rotating drum. This results in the generation of large eddy currents
