Eddy current damping:

  • When a conductor moves in a magnetic field an emf is induced in it and if a closed path is provided, a current (known as eddy current) flows
  • This current interacts with the magnetic field to produce an electromagnet torque which opposes the motion
  • This torque is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field and the current produced

There are two common forms of damping devices:

1) A metal former which carries the working coil of the instrument

2) A thin aluminium disc attached to the moving system of the instrument, this disc moves in the field of a permanent magnet; The disc should be of conducting and non-magnetic material
