An eddy current brake is a type of braking system that utilizes electromagnetic induction to slow down or stop the motion of a moving object. It operates on the principle of eddy currents, which are loops of electrical current that are induced within conductors by a changing magnetic field, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. ### How it Works: 1. **Magnetic Field Creation**: The system includes a magnetic field source, such as a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
