Eddy
Currents consists of a strong electromagnet through which
one can drop different discs. Some discs fall freely through
the magnetic field while others fall slowly. The magnetic
field induces eddy currents in the discs and these currents
are magnetic, so although none of the plates are made of magnetic
materials, the plates which are electrical conductors are
often affected by the magnetic fields. Conductors which have
been slotted, so as not to allow the creation of eddy currents,
also fall straight through the magnetic field.
