1. A ceremony or formal act by which a person is inducted, as into office or military service; such as, the registration and induction of military draftees.
2. With electricity, the generation of electromotive force in a closed circuit by a varying magnetic flux through the circuit.
3. In logic, the process of deriving general principles from particular facts or instances; a conclusion reached by this process.
4. The act or process of inducing or making something happen; such as, in medicine, the inducing of birth labor, whereby labor is initiated artificially with drugs such as oxytocin.
5. Presentation of material; such as, facts or evidence in support of an argument or proposition.
6. In electricity, the generation of voltages, currents, electric fields, or magnetic fields by interactions among these quantities without direct contact.

The electric field intensity multiplied by the permittivity (measure of the ability of a nonconducting material to retain electric energy when placed in an electric field) or the property of a dielectric medium which determines the forces that electric charges placed in the medium exert on each other.

1. Generation of an electromotive force, in an insulated conductor moving in an electromagnetic field, or in a fixed conductor in a moving magnetic field.
2. The production of electric current in a circuit when it is passed through a changing magnetic field.
3. Voltage produced in a coil as a result of the relative motion between the coil and magnetic lines of force; such as, flux linkages passing through the coil changes.
4. The production of an electromotive force in a circuit by the variation of the magnetic field with which the circuit is connected.
5. The generation of an electromotive force by changing the magnetic flux through a closed loop circuit, or by moving a conductor across the magnetic field.

This principle is the basis for the electric generator and electric motor.

1. The process of charging an object electrically by bringing it near another charged object, then touching it to a ground.
2. Modification in the distribution of an electric charge on one material under the influence of an electric charge on a nearby object which takes place whenever any object is placed in an electric field.
3. The production of an electric charge in an object when placed near a charged body.
4. A process of inducing stationary electric charges on an object by brining it near another object that has an excess of electric charges.

A positive charge will produce a negative charge, and a negative charge will produce a positive charge.

An instrument that detects the voltage of currents in seawater and is able to indicate the salinity of the water.
