Answer #1

eddy currents and induced currents are similar in a way that both are produced when magnetic flux changes through closed path.

now difference is that eddy currents are produecs in large conductors like a piece of iron. in this case, infinite no. of loops can be assumed to be formed in conductor and induced currents are produced in closed loops like loop of wire.

so we can say that eddy currents are also induced currents but only in large piece of conductor so a special case of induced current
