Eddy currents, so‐called owing to their general shape like "eddies", manifest as induced currents in all metallic – magnetic or non‐magnetic – regions exposed to time varying or generally alternating magnetic fields whether of power or higher frequencies. It is imperative to apply appropriate analyses to assess the magnitude and consequences of induced eddy currents as required. Therefore, book... Read more

Biography

Dr. S. C. Bhargava's professional career spans nearly five decades of which he spent 25 years in industrial research at Corp. R & D, BHEL, Hyderabad from where he retired as Specialist (Electromagnetic phenomena) in 1999. Dr Bhargava has published nearly 50 research/technical papers in various national and international journals. His current field of research is "Biomedical Effects of ELF EMFs on Living Beings" on which he has published and co‐authored several papers. He is a Fellow of IE(I), IEE(UK) and IETE and a Sr. Member of CSI. He is also the Life Senior of the IEEE with which he has been very actively associated since 1980, being the Hyderabad Section Chair in 1991 and 1992. His latest interest is designing and developing solar electric modules and distribution systems.
