• coefficient of mutual induction (noun)
  1. 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 neighbouring circuit; usually measured in henries
• coefficient of self induction (noun)
  1. 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
• induction accelerator (noun)
  1. accelerates a continuous beam of electrons to high speeds by means of the electric field produced by changing magnetic flux
• induction coil (noun)
  1. a piece of electrical equipment that changes a low VOLTAGE to a higher one
• induction heating (noun)
  1. the heating of a conducting material caused by an electric current induced in it
• induction motor (noun)
  1. an alternating current motor in which currents in the secondary wiring of the rotor are created by induction from the magnetic field of the primary winding of the stator
• induction of labor (noun)
  1. obstetrics inducing the childbirth process artificially by administering oxytocin or by puncturing the amniotic sac
• magnetic induction (noun)
  1. temporarily or permanently the process that makes a substance magnetic
  2. the amount of magnetic flux in a unit area perpendicular to the direction of magnetic flow
• mutual induction (noun)
  1. generation of electromotive forces in each other by two adjacent circuits
• neon induction lamp (noun)
  1. a lamp consisting of a small gas-discharge tube containing neon at low pressure; luminescence is produced by the action of currents at high frequencies that are wrapped a few turns around the tube
