EDDY CURRENTSUnderstand the theory of eddy currents with this essential referenceEddy currents are electrical current loops produced when a conductor passes through a magnetic field, or is otherwise subject to a change in magnetic field direction. These currents play a significant role in many industrial processes and areas of electrical engineering. Their properties and applications are therefore a subject of significant interest for elect...

This book provides a broad overview on the different aspects of solar energy, with a focus on photovoltaics, which is the technology that allows light energy to be converted into electric energy.Renewable energy sources have become increasingly popular in recent years, and solar is one of the most adaptable and attractive types – from solar farms to support the National Grid to roof panels/tiles used for solar thermal heating systems, and small solar garden lights....
