A simple metal detector has a coil with an alternating current in it. The current produces an alternating magnetic field. If a piece of metal is near the coil, eddy currents are induced in the metal. These induced eddy currents produce induced magnetic fields that are detected by a magnetic field detection device. Draw a series of sketches representing this process, including the appropriate directions of the magnetic fields at one instant of time, and indicate two applications for this device.
