magnetic induction

Flux through coils

Magnetic induction is the process by which a magnetic field creates magnetism in a nearby material or generates an electric current in a conductor.

A piece of iron becomes temporarily magnetized when placed near a magnet through magnetic induction.

The term also refers to magnetic flux density—the strength of a magnetic field at a given point, measured in teslas.
