(c) When magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, induced emf is produced in it and the induced current flows through the wire forming the coil. These induced currents are set up in the conductor in the from closed loops. These currents look like eddies or whirlpools and likewise are known as Eddy currents. These currents oppose the cause of their origin, therefore, due to Eddy currents, a great amount of energy is wasted in form of heat energy. if core of transformer is laminated, then their effect can be minimised.
