Q4: In which of the following devices, the eddy current effect is not used?    
(a) Induction furnace
(b) Magnetic braking in train
(c) Electromagnet
(d) Electric heater
Ans: (d)
Solution:
A. Induction Furnace: Eddy currents are used in induction furnaces to heat metal for melting or heating purposes. The metal is placed inside a coil, and alternating current passes through the coil, inducing eddy currents in the metal, which heats it up due to its electrical resistance.
B. Magnetic Braking in Train: Eddy currents are used in magnetic braking systems in trains. When a train's metal wheels pass through a magnetic field, eddy currents are induced in the wheels, creating a force that opposes the motion of the train, slowing it down.
C. Electromagnet: Eddy currents can have an undesirable effect on electromagnets because they can cause energy loss and heating. However, in devices like transformers and electric motors, eddy currents can be minimized by using laminated cores or by using materials with high electrical resistivity.
D. Electric Heater: Electric heaters typically do not use the eddy current effect. Instead, they use the resistance of a material to convert electrical energy into heat. The electric current passes through a resistive element, such as a wire or a coil, which heats up and transfers heat to the surrounding area.
