Eddy currents are electric currents induced in conductors by a changing magnetic field. This causes circulating flows of electrons within the conductor, known as eddy currents. Eddy currents generate their own magnetic fields and can induce braking forces. Eddy current brakes work to slow rotating or linearly moving objects like machinery, trains, and roller coasters through the interaction of eddy currents induced in a conductive surface placed near a magnet. There are two main types - rotational eddy current brakes which slow rotating objects, and linear brakes which slow linear motion.

Eddy currents are electric current induced in conductors, when exposed
to a changing magnetic field; due to relative motion of the field source and conductors or due to variations of field with time. This can cause a circulating flow of electrons or current within the body of the conductor. These circulating eddies of current have inductance and thus induce magnetic fields.

EDDY CURRENT BRAKES Eddy current brakes like conventional friction brakes are responsible for slowing an object, such as rotating machinery, or moving train, or even a roller coaster. There are two basic types. (1) Rotational (2) Linear
