That's from an analogy from eddy currents in water. Quoting from the Wikipedia, article "Eddy (fluid dynamics": "In fluid dynamics, an eddy is the swirling of a fluid and the reverse current created when the fluid flows past an obstacle."
Eddy
An Eddy Current absorption dynamometer produces braking torque using the principle of eddy currents induced in a rotating metallic disk, immersed in a magnetic field. It is basically an eddy current brake mounted in trunnion bearings. Its advantages are maintenance, control, simple construction and desirable speed-torque characteristics. The speed-torque characteristics make the eddy current dynamometer ideal for engine testing, and its versatility also allows effective use in testing transmissions, turbines, electric motors, gears, pumps and many other machines.
The boat got into a violent eddy in the water, making it go around and around until everyone was feeling sick and dizzy.ExplanationIn water flow, an eddy is a current that flows opposite to the major flow, also known as a whirlpool.If on a river, an eddy is a current that will flow upstream in a side channel filling it, even if the flow is in an opposite direction of the original flow. It is equivalent to a stream's water level rising because the river it feeds has more water in it than the stream, thus making the water flow upstream. It can also be an area that seems not to have a current at all.Another exampleEddy is my best friend. (That example is just for a person called Eddy, not for the word "eddy", which is another word for a whirlpool!)
there is a permanent magnet and a conductor (metal)in relation. when the conductor is moved by cutting the magnetic relay. there will be a charge in the conductor. this is the eddy current priciple
Eddy currents are usually unwanted (I can't think of a case where they are good), so there is no application for them. They are a nuisance that is mitigated through various means - cooling, very thin laminations, use of non-metalic clamps, etc.

Eddy Current Suppression Ring was created in 2003.
Yes, a transformer has eddy currents.
Alimunium is the best Element, that can be used for the production of eddy current.

because eddy current is produced by the heat produced in winding
