Expert Answer:
Eddy means a whirl or circular motion of something.
Eddy currents are defined as currents induced in a thick conductor when the conductor is placed in a changing magnetic field.It is the tendency of a changing magnetic field to induce a current that opposes the change.
Eddy currents are undesirable since they heat up the conductor and dissipate electrical energy in the form of heat.
