Explain how eddy currents can be produced. 

Eddy currents are currents induced in a conductor moving across magnetic field; these currents oppose the motion of a solid conductor.

When a piece of metal moves in a magnetic field, a force acts on delocalized electrons in accordance with Fleming’s left hand rule. The electrons deficient atoms also attract electrons from other atoms. This movement of electrons cause current loops that are called Eddy currents.
