  2. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) across an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of induction .

  3. Mathematical induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_induction

    Complete induction is most useful when several instances of the inductive hypothesis are required for each induction step. For example, complete induction can be used to show that = where is the n-th Fibonacci number, and = (+) (the golden ratio) and = are the roots of the polynomial.

  4. Inductive reasoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inductive_reasoning

    Inductive reasoning is any of various methods of reasoning in which broad generalizations or principles are derived from a body of observations. [1] [2] This article is concerned with the inductive reasoning other than deductive reasoning (such as mathematical induction), where the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain given the premises are correct; in contrast, the truth of the ...

  5. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday's law of induction (or simply Faraday's law) is a law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (emf). This phenomenon, known as electromagnetic induction , is the fundamental operating principle of transformers , inductors , and many types of electric ...

  7. Electrostatic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrostatic_induction

    Gold-leaf electroscope, showing induction (labelled polarity of charges), before the terminal is grounded. Using an electroscope to show electrostatic induction. The device has leaves/needle that become charged when introducing a charged rod to it. The leaves bend the leave/needle, and the stronger the static introduced, the more bending occurs.

  9. Mill's methods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mill's_Methods

    Mill's methods are five methods of induction described by philosopher John Stuart Mill in his 1843 book A System of Logic. [1] [2] They are intended to establish a causal relationship between two or more groups of data, analyzing their respective differences and similarities.
