Induction

Electric Induction is the process by which an electrically charged object charges another object without touching it. Such induction is caused by electrostatic attraction, the attraction that opposite electrical charges have for each other. Electric induction should not be confused with electromagnetic induction or inductance, which deal with magnetic fields.
