Which outcome occurs when pulsed electromagnetic fields induce eddy currents in a conductive material with non-uniform magnetic permeability?

💡 Explanation

Localized heating occurs because energy dissipation via magnetic hysteresis increases in regions of higher permeability, therefore those areas heat preferentially rather than uniform heat from simple resistive losses which requires uniform permeability across the material.
