Eddy current
An eddy current, also called a Foucault current, is a loop of current induced within a conductor by a changing magnetic field, flowing in closed loops perpendicular to the field.
Eddy current displacement sensor
An eddy current displacement sensor is a non-contact sensor that measures the position of an electrically conductive target by inducing eddy currents with a high-frequency magnetic field.
