what is induction

Pranav

There are many uses of this word in different maths, sciences and even medical terminology. Webster's Online Dictionary says that this means: 1 a : the act or process of inducting (as into office) b : an initial experience : INITIATION c : the formality by which a civilian is inducted into military service 2 a (1) : inference of a generalized conclusion from particular instances -- compare DEDUCTION 2a (2) : a conclusion arrived at by induction b : mathematical demonstration of the validity of a law concerning all the positive integers by proving that it holds for the integer 1 and that if it holds for an arbitrarily chosen positive integer k it must hold for the integer k+1 -- called also mathematical induction 3 : a preface, prologue, or introductory scene especially of an early English play 4 a : the act of bringing forward or adducing (as facts or particulars) b : the act of causing or bringing on or about c : the process by which an electrical conductor becomes electrified when near a charged body, by which a magnetizable body becomes magnetized when in a magnetic field or in the magnetic flux set up by a magnetomotive force, or by which an electromotive force is produced in a circuit by varying the magnetic field linked with the circuit d : the inspiration of the fuel-air charge from the carburetor into the combustion chamber of an internal combustion engine e : the sum of the processes by which the fate of embryonic cells is determined and morphogenetic differentiation brought about == Answer == Induction has more than one meaning. LOGICAL induction is the process of reasoning from all the parts separately to the whole which they constitute, or into which they may be united collectively; it's a fair description of the scientific method. RITUAL induction is the act of initiating someone into a club or society. MEDICAL/BIOLOGICAL induction is the process of forcing an event or process to begin, such as "inducing labor." ELECTRICAL induction is the creation of an electrical current in a circuit by varying magnetic force. Induction heating is a process that relies on electrical induction to quickly generate consistent, even heat.

charging of a body with another charged body with out making direct contact with it.....is called charging by induction...........

Arjun Virmani

Induction can be simply defined as the effect of 1 thing on the other.

eg:

Electromagnetic Induction is the effect of the Electric/Magnetic field produced due to moving charges/magnet (respectively) in a body to another body or loop lying in the viscinity.

Electriomagnetic Induction produces EMF (electromotive force, i.e. potential difference) in the conductor near by and if the ends of the conductor are attached with a resistance, the current will flow, without resistance(ideal case) the loop will get short-circuited.

when eny conducter is rotet in to the magnetic field generated the magnatic flux which is calld induction

Vishal Mahuli

It is a process of affecting a body without actually touching(physical contact) it.... ANY PROCESS OF THIS KIND IS CALLED AS INDUCTION IN SCIENCE......in maths it is a tool by the name MATHEMATICAL INDUCTION.....
