What is induction in an electric generator?

Answer 1

When a coil is moved inside a strong magnetic field current is induced in the coil.. Or magnet moved near coil.

Current is induced in the conductor.This is the priciple by which electric generators work.

Nicholas Agrusa

Induction in an electric generator refers to the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) or voltage in a conductor, according to Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This induced voltage causes an electric current to flow if the conductor forms a closed loop, such as in a coil of wire. This is the fundamental principle behind how electric generators produce electricity.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
