Why do larger eddy current produce more heat?

The heating power of eddy currents comes the conversion of electrical energy into heat. The rate of heating comes from the product of the current I squared times the resistance R. The equation is Power P = I2R. The magnitude of the eddy current I comes from the rate of change of magnetic flux. The resistance R is a material property of the magnetised core material.
Does that help?
