Can eddy current only exist in conductive or nonconductive materials?

'Eddy currents' are a circulating currents set up as a result of voltages induced into a metal component which not intended to carry current. For example, eddy currents are induced into the silicon-steel core of a transformer due to voltages induced into the core by the changing currents in the transformer's windings. Eddy currents are unavoidable, although steps can be taken to minimise them -in the case of a transformer's core, by manufacturing the core from laminations. Eddy currents generally have no useful function, but represent energy losses. To answer your question directly, eddy currents can only exist in conducting materials.

Gas, liquid, solid.
What characteristic exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that that lack magnetism?
Domains are aligned.
What is universal solvent?
A universal solvent doesn't exist; water is a good solvent for many materials.

Why marble is a impure substance?
The absolute purity doesn't exist; all the materials have impurities, less or more.
Is einsteinium conductive?
All the metals conduct electricity; but no determined data exist today for einsteinium.
Why can't an electric current exist if the circuit is broken?
If the electric circuit is broken, there will be no medium for transfer of electrons and flow of current. Hence, electric current does not exist.
What is difference between electric and magnet current?
Electric Current I= V/R where V is volts and R is resistance; Magnetic Current I=Hw where H is the Magnetic Intensity and w is the wave distance.
Can diffusion current and drift current can exist in a Semi conductors?
Yes.
What is a single negative electric charge that contributes virtually no mass to an atom?
electron ,Believe it is called a FREE electron. Because it is not internally bound to the nucleolus of the atom. in a conductive material , like copper, they are free to drift from one atom to another. if it was not for free electron's ,electricty(current) could not exist.
Materials can exist in three different states what are they?
Gas, liquid, solid.
Difference between intrinsic and extrinsic materials?
Intrinsic materials are found within an area. Extrinsic materials do not exist within, and must be located outside of the area.
Do alethiometers exist?
Alethiometers, as featured in Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" series, are fictional devices and do not exist in reality. Their concept is a product of the author's imagination.
What characteristics exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that lack magnetism?
Domains are aligned.
What stores materials to make ribososomes in a cell?
They are in the nucleolus. They exist as two parts
What characteristic exists in magnets that does not exist in materials that that lack magnetism?
Domains are aligned.
How is conventional current used if it doesn't exist?
For no bloody reason!
