    Wait if the bullet is generating Eddy current can we get electric bullets by shooting bullets through an MRI like shooting an arrow through fire to get a flaming arrow.

      The bullet would not be generating an eddy current.

      The eddy currents are induced in the bullet by the magnetic fields as it passes through.

      It’s like a generator’s coil that doesn’t have anything attached to it. Because there’s nowhere for it to go, the eddy currents just dissipate when it leaves the magnetic field.
