Hello, I'm not sure where to post this so I hope this is the right spot. It's not a homework question, just a concept I need to get straight before an exam ;)
If I'm pulling a sheet of metal through a uniform magnetic field (which is perpendicular to the sheets motion), Eddy currents are created - does the net force due to the eddy currents have to be opposing the motion?
Every example I can find about eddy currents says it's a force that acts like a break, and tries to oppose the motion, but I want to be 100% sure this is true :)
Thanks!
