electromagnetic induction: see induction Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) in a conductor as a result of a changing magnetic field about the conductor and is the most important of the three phenomena. It was discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday and independently by Joseph Henry. .....

The phenomenon was first investigated in 1830–31 by Joseph Henry and Michael Faraday, who discovered that when the magnetic field around an electromagnet was increased or decreased, an electric current could be detected in a separate nearby conductor. A current can also be induced by constantly moving a permanent magnet in and out of a coil of wire, or by constantly moving a conductor near a stationary permanent magnet. The induced electromotive force is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux cutting across the circuit. |

| Emabond supplies materials and technology for electromagnetic induction bonding of plastics. Researchers fused two detection approaches--magnetometer and electromagnetic induction systems, known as EMI--into a single system that can be used simultaneously to sweep a UXO field, despite the traditional problem of EMI measurements interfering with magnetometers. An electromagnetic induction unit is attached to the bottom of the furnace and can be operated in two different modes--preheating or pouring. |
