Induction in physics

In physics, induction refers to the process of producing an electrical or magnetic effect in an object by the proximity of an electric or magnetic field, without direct contact. The most common example is electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field through a conductor induces an electromotive force (and thus a current) in that conductor, as described by Faraday's Law. Another example is electrostatic induction, where a charged object brought near a neutral conductor causes a redistribution of charges within the conductor.
