The process of deriving general principles from particular facts or instances.
A conclusion reached by this process. See Note at deduction.
The creation of a voltage difference across a conductive material (such as a coil of wire) by exposing it to a changing magnetic field. Induction is fundamental to hydroelectric power, in which water-powered turbines spin wire coils through strong magnetic fields. It is also the working principle underlying transformers and induction coils.
The generation of an electric current in a conductor, such as a copper wire, by exposing it to the electric field of an electrically charged conductor.
The building up of a net electric charge on a conductive material by separating its charge to create two oppositely charged regions, then bleeding off the charge from one region.
