indukcj

Induction, or indukcja in some languages, is a term used across several disciplines to denote processes by which a general rule is drawn from specific observations, or by which a physical effect is produced by changing conditions. In physics and engineering, electromagnetic induction refers to the generation of an electromotive force and current in a conductor when its magnetic environment changes. Faraday's law states that EMF is proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux, while Lenz's law assigns the direction of the induced current to oppose the change that produced it. Self-induction and mutual induction describe the generation of EMF within a single coil or between coupled circuits, respectively. Practical applications include electric generators, transformers, induction motors, and induction heating, which relies on time-varying magnetic fields to heat conductive materials.

In mathematics, mathematical induction is a proof technique used to establish statements about natural numbers. It

In logic and philosophy, inductive reasoning draws general conclusions from observed patterns, experiments, or data samples.

In chemistry, the inductive effect refers to the transmission of charge through sigma bonds, caused by differences

Induction is thus a broad concept used to describe mechanisms of generating effects, as well as methods
