ABSTRACT: The work is an attempt to find the force with which an electromagnetic
system with Foucault currents acts on itself. It is taken into account that the
average force with which the source of the alternating magnetic field and the inductive Foucault current is equal to zero, the self-force arises as a result of the interaction of unclosed Foucault conduction
currents with the displacement current created by a conductor located in a
non-uniform magnetic field. The average force acting on a symmetrical conductor
located between the poles of an electromagnet turned out to be different from zero.
The greatest value of this force is observed in the region of maximum
inhomogeneity of the magnetic field.
