| eddy current | <radiobiology> Electric current induced inside a conductor when the conductor (a) moves through a nonuniform magnetic field, or (b) experiences a change in the magnetic flux through its surface. (09 Oct 1997) |
| eddy-current loss | <radiobiology> Energy loss due to eddy currents circulating in a resistive material. (09 Oct 1997) |
| toroidal current | <radiobiology> Current flowing in the toroidal direction (the long way) around a torus. (As distinct from poloidal currents flowing through the centre of the torus and around to the outside, the short way.) (09 Oct 1997) |
| labile current | An electrical current applied to the body by means of electrodes that are constantly shifted about. (05 Mar 2000) |
