Abstract
Eddy currents give rise to frequency dependency of the impedance of conductors, transformers and coils. The effective resistance can easily become orders of magnitude larger than its dc value and can have a pronounced effect on the circuit behaviour and system performance. This introductory chapter gives a qualitive description, supported by examples, on this topical but often underrated phenomenon.
