The magnetic flux per unit area of a section normal to the direction of flux. Measured in Gauss, in the C.G.S. system of units.
Helpful?           0
The generation of current in one conductor due to current running in an adjacent conductor even though the conductors are not common bonded (electrically connected). Signals can be induced on the line by air coupling, from adjacent conductors or from energized overhead power lines.
Helpful?           0

In terms of the fence line, this is the transfer of power without physical contact, from an electrified wire to a non electric wire or gate. This is usually noticed by touching a wire on the conventional fence (or gate) and finding it "live". This phenomenon is more noticeable in damp weather conditions.

Transfer of energy electromagnetically from machine to person without current through an insulator.

Induction is the process by which charge is moved in a conductor by the presence of an electric field. In wires this will lead to a current, in discrete conducting objects it will lead to local charging--ie. the side near the inducing charge will become the opposite charge and the far side will acquire a similar charge leaving the overall charge of the object unchanged.
Helpful?           0
Any time-varying electromagnetic field will induce (cause) electrical currents to flow in any object with non-zero conductivity. (see eddy currents)
Helpful?           0
The process by which an electromotive force is produced in a circuit by varying the magnetic field linked with the circuit.
Helpful?           0
A means of transferring electrical energy in the form of a magnetic field Principally used in the ignition coil to increase voltage.
Helpful?           0
the process by which an object having electrical or magnetic properties produces similar properties in a nearby object, usually without direct contact.
