NIce to hear about this nice experience together with Laura in US....And always very glad about the nice technical lessons to refresh electromagnetism concepts, which are key to optimize magnetic based components used later on in any kind of Power Electronic Systems.... Paralely to this, and besides nice Coursera course, I'm also reading nice book from Wiley Editorial named Transformers and Inductors for Power Electronics, from Mr. W.G.Hurley and W.H. WΓΆllfle which is also very good for deeping further on this world.

Is this statement correct: "The eddy currents induced in one wire, decrease the net current through that conductor, but contribute to the losses and force the system to increase the currents to get the desired net value." To the best of my knowledge, proximity current does not decrease the total current. It circulates in the conductor and if u calculate it, it is zero as a whole. Just look at my conference paper in 2020, I showed it there. DOI: 10.1109/PESGM41954.2020.9281776

Thank you for reading and commenting. The Proximity effects explain the generation of eddy currents in opposite direction to the main current in the wires. This is the reason why I said, the total net current in the main direction decrease and the system tends to increase the current in the main direction to compensate, and finally, having the same net current.
