a - The alternating current flowing through the coil at a chosen frequency generates a magnetic field around the coil.
b - When the coil is placed close to an electrically conductive material, eddy current is included in the material.
c - If a flaw in the conductive material disturbs the eddy current circulation, the magnetic coupling with the probe is changed and a defect signal can be read by measuring the coil impedance variation.
