Which phenomenon induces eddy currents to flow in solid conductive materials exposed to strong alternating magnetic fields?

💡 Explanation

When a conductive material is exposed to an changing magnetic field, Faraday's Law of Induction causes circulating eddy currents to form resistively inside the material attempting to oppose the flux change. Therefore induction currents result, rather than thermoelectric effects, piezoelectricity, or diffraction which need thermal gradients, mechanical stress, or wave interference respectively.
