Eddy-current loss in a rotating magnetic field

The eddy-current loss is calculated for nonferromagnetic disks in a rotating magnetic field. The power loss is found as a function of the magnetic field intensity, the field rotation velocity, and the disk dimensions. The eddy-current loss was measured experimentally in rotating fields in copper, aluminum, and zinc disks; a good agreement was found with the calculated values.Translated from Izvestiya Vysshikh Uchebnykh Zavedenii, Fizika, No. 1, pp. 38–42, January, 1971.
