2. Induction heating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heating

   Induction heating is the process of heating electrically conductive materials, namely metals or semi-conductors, by electromagnetic induction, through heat transfer passing through an inductor that creates an electromagnetic field within the coil to heat up and possibly melt steel, copper, brass, graphite, gold, silver, aluminum, or carbide.

3. Induction heater - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_heater

   Induction heating is a non contact method of heating a conductive body by utilising a strong magnetic field.Supply (mains) frequency 50 Hz or 60 Hz induction heaters incorporate a coil directly fed from the electricity supply, typically for lower power industrial applications where lower surface temperatures are required.

4. Induction furnace - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_furnace

   The coil creates a rapidly reversing magnetic field that penetrates the metal. The magnetic field induces eddy currents, circular electric currents, inside the metal, by electromagnetic induction. [9] The eddy currents, flowing through the electrical resistance of the bulk metal, heat it by Joule heating.

5. Eddy current - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current

   Eddy currents in conductors of non-zero resistivity generate heat as well as electromagnetic forces. The heat can be used for induction heating. The electromagnetic forces can be used for levitation, creating movement, or to give a strong braking effect. Eddy currents can also have undesirable effects, for instance power loss in transformers.

6. Induction coil - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_coil

   Antique induction coil used in schools from around 1900, Bremerhaven, Germany. An induction coil or "spark coil" (archaically known as an inductorium or Ruhmkorff coil [1] after Heinrich Rühmkorff) is a type of transformer [2] [3] [4] used to produce high-voltage pulses from a low-voltage direct current (DC) supply.

7. Skin effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skin_effect

   The AC frequencies used in induction cookers are much higher than standard mains frequency ‒ typically around 25–50 kHz. In electromagnetism , skin effect is the tendency of an alternating electric current (AC) to become distributed within a conductor such that the current density is largest near the surface of the conductor and decreases ...

8. Induction forging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_forging

   Induction heating is a non-contact process which uses the principle of electromagnetic induction to produce heat in a workpiece. By placing a conductive material into a strong alternating magnetic field, electric current is made to flow in the material, thereby causing Joule heating.

9. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

   Electromagnetic induction has found many applications, including electrical components such as inductors and transformers, and devices such as electric motors and generators. History Faraday's experiment showing induction between coils of wire: The liquid battery (right) provides a current that flows through the small coil (A) , creating a ...
