Eddy currents can be used to heat localized tissues of the human body. What is this branch of science referred to as?(a) Inductology(b) Eddy dynamics(c) Inductothermy(d) Eddy mechanicsThis question was posed to me during an interview for a job.My enquiry is from Electromagnetic Induction topic in division Electromagnetic Induction of Physics – Class 12

Answer»

The correct option is (C) Inductothermy

The best explanation: EDDY currents can be USED to heat localized tissues of the human body. This branch is called inductothermy. Inductothermy is a method of electrotherapeutics in which certain parts of the body of the patient are heated by an alternating, predominantly high-frequency electromagnetic FIELD, which INDUCES eddy currents in body tissues.
