  • Lenz's law states that the direction of the electric current induced in a conductor by a changing magnetic field is such that the magnetic field created by the induced current opposes changes in the initial magnetic field. It is named after physicist Emil Lenz, who formulated it in 1834.

    Magnetic brakes are used as safety devices on roller coasters. When you’re at the end of the track and you feel that strong deceleration, that’s from magnetic brakes. Magnetic brakes are also placed along portions of the track in case it needs to be stopped in an emergency. Here, springs would normally keep the magnets up, but the controls keep it down. If the controls go offline, the brakes will immediately extend and bring the coaster mostly to a stop. Friction brakes will then fully stop it

      Truck manufacturer Saurer even experimented with using them as an auxillary brake.

    the cuts don't "prevent" eddy currents from forming, they reduce them. same way transformer cores are made, laminated thin sheets have many small eddy currents. if that same core was one solid piece, the sum of that one big current is greater than the many small ones in the laminated core.

      @@Iugeerchanging magnetic field creates a potential difference (voltage gradient) all across the material (Faraday’s law) Since the material is conductive, this allows a current to flow (Ohm’s law). That’s the eddy current. The eddy current makes it’s own magnetic field (Amperes law) which opposites the field that created it (Lenz’s law), pulling it back towards the magnet, stopping the motion.
      That enough detail?

    Corrections: 1.eddy currents are not eliminated, they are rather minimalised by the cuts.
    2. The emf in the plates is due a time variant area, and not a time varying magnetic field. This essentially means the same in terms of flux change( magnetic flux is the dot product of magnetic field and area vector in the direction of the field) but it is a considerable difference, physically speaking.

      Yeah, basically. Except it's with copper, which can be magnetic, after introducing a current.
      The regenerative braking happens when the magnets moving through cause an electric field, which causes a current to form, which puts electricity back in the batteries....

    Eddy current, is also used to check any cracks in fasteners! Cracks within the flange of the fastener, doesn't allow the current to pass thru along the flange of fastener, similar to the wheel that has cuts in it.
