Phrases 40
- induction hypothesisA statement which might be true for any natural number. In mathematical induction, such a statement is proven true for all natural numbers by first proving it for the base case and then proving that each case implies the next.
- induction motorAn alternating current motor in which currents in the secondary wiring of the rotor are created by induction from the magnetic field of the primary winding of the stator.
- mathematical inductionA method of proof which, in terms of a predicate P, could be stated as: if P(0) is true and if for any natural number n>0, P(n) implies P(n+1), then P(n) is true for any natural number n.
- electromagnetic inductionThe production of an electrical potential difference in a conductor situated in a changing magnetic flux.
- mutual inductionThe production of an electric current in a circuit by a changing current in a nearby one.
- transfinite inductionAn extension of mathematical induction to well-ordered sets of transfinite cardinality, such as sets of ordinal numbers or cardinal numbers.
- induction heatingThe heating of an electrical conductor by eddy currents induced by a varying magnetic field.
- induction coilA transformer that produces a high voltage alternating current pulse from a low voltage direct current supply, especially such a device in the starter motor of an automobile.
- backward inductionThe process of reasoning backwards in time, from the end of a problem or situation, to determine a sequence of optimal actions.
- co-inductionAlternative spelling of coinduction: A form of induction that allows some form of reasoning concerning sets that are not well founded; uses a form of relation called a bisimulation
- forced inductionThe process of blowing compressed air into the cylinders of an internal combustion piston engine to increase the compression ratio and power of the engine, typically by using a turbocharger or supercharger.
- grammar inductionThe process of constructing a model that captures the characteristics of observed objects by learning a formal grammar.
- induction burnerSynonym of induction stovetop: A efficient, fast-acting stove that uses electromagnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans rather than the cooktop surface.
- induction cookingcooking performed using direct induction heating of cooking vessels, rather than relying on indirect radiation, convection, or thermal conduction.
- induction loopAn electromagnetic communication and detection system, relying on the fact that a moving magnet will induce an electrical current in a nearby conducting wire.
- induction motorsplural of induction motor: An alternating current motor in which currents in the secondary wiring of the rotor are created by induction from the magnetic field of the primary winding of the stator.
- induction programmeThe process used within many businesses to welcome new employees to the company and prepare them for their new role.
- induction rangeSynonym of induction stovetop: A efficient, fast-acting stove that uses electromagnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans rather than the cooktop surface.
- magnetic inductionSynonym of B-field: A condition in the space around a magnet or electric current in which there is a detectable magnetic force and two magnetic poles are present.
- induction weldingA fast, noncontact process that uses electromagnetic induction to generate localized heat in conductive or thermoplastic workpieces.
- induction heaterA heater than employs induction heating
- induction stoveSynonym of induction stovetop: A efficient, fast-acting stove that uses electromagnetic fields to directly heat pots and pans rather than the cooktop surface.
- self-inductionInduction in a circuit caused by changes in the circuit itself.
- induction furnaceAn electrical device that melts metal using heat generated by electromagnetic induction.
- induction coilsplural of induction coil: A transformer that produces a high voltage alternating current pulse from a low voltage direct current supply, especially such a device in the starter motor of an automobile.
