| induction | the act of bringing about something (especially at an early time), the induction of an anesthetic state |
betatron
induction accelerator | accelerates a continuous beam of electrons to high speeds by means of the electric field produced by changing magnetic flux |
| induction coil | a coil for producing a high voltage from a low-voltage source |
neon lamp
neon induction lamp

initiation
induction
installation | a formal entry into an organization or position or office, his initiation into the club, he was ordered to report for induction into the army, he gave a speech as part of his installation into the hall of fame |
induction
inductance | an electrical phenomenon whereby an electromotive force (EMF) is generated in a closed circuit by a change in the flow of current |
| mutual induction | generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits |
| self-induction | generation of an electromotive force (EMF) in a circuit by changing the current in that circuit, usually measured in henries |
| induction heating | the heating of a conducting material caused by an electric current induced in it |
magnetization
magnetisation
magnetic induction | the process that makes a substance magnetic (temporarily or permanently) |
coefficient of mutual induction
mutual inductance | a measure of the induction between two circuits, the ratio of the electromotive force in a circuit to the corresponding change of current in a neighboring circuit, usually measured in henries |
coefficient of self induction
self-inductance | the ratio of the electromotive force produced in a circuit by self-induction to the rate of change of current producing it, expressed in henries |
