Electromagnetic induction occurs when a conductor moves through a magnetic field. It produces a voltage in the conductor, and if the conductor is part of a complete circuit it creates a current.
It's applications include electric motors which are used in many household products (washing machines, tumble dryers), and some forms of transport (electric cars and trains).
Generators use electromagnetic induction. Almost all power is generated by a moving turbine attached to a generator. Either the turbine is moved by steam from burning a fuel to heat water, or is being moved by water or air (wind turbines and hydroelectric power plants).
Transformers, used for transmission through power lines and power supplies, use electromagnetic induction. They are used to up-scale or down-scale voltage in alternating current (AC). They are used to send electricity through power lines at high voltages (above 111,000 volts) to lower lost energy. They are then used to down-scale the high voltages from power lines to lower voltages (240 to 110 volts) for transmission to households. More transformers are used in power supplies to down-scale this to lower voltages used by household electronics.
Electromagnetic induction often incurs a lot of energy transferred into heat. Which can be used for welding or any kind of heating, known as induction welding or induction heating.
Induction was one of the first methods of detecting touch on a surface, and was used for early graphics tablets.
Induction is used in Electromagnetic forming, which uses high intensity pulsed magnetic fields to shape objects.
Pickups use electromagnetic induction to convert vibrations from a stringed instrument and converts it into electrical current which can be amplified into a speaker or recording device. Pickups are used in electric Guitars.
Electromagnetic induction is also used in electric hobs on cookers. It uses induction heating to heat a pan without the need for fire.

What is induced magnetism?
In the simplest terms, Induced Magnetism is the magnetism of an object as a result of an external influence. Typically, the external influence is a magnetic field due to another object. (One also hears the term transient magnetism applied to the same phenomenon. To be considered transient, the magnetism must disappear when the external influence disappears, but to be "induced" it just has to appear.) Though this is a technical term, it has a meaning that is the normal meaning of "induced," as in "caused by." This is to be contrasted with other modifiers, like "permanent magnetism" or "remnant magnetism" or "spontaneous magnetism" which are all still magnetism of an object but with a modifier further describing the magnetic state. If one is being more technical, then in scientific circles the term "induced magnetism" usually refers the situation where an object acquires a magnetic field as a result of it being in some external magnetic field even though it is not normally a magnetized material. One see this all the time. If you bring a permanent magnet near a collection of paperclips, then the paperclips all attach to one another and to the permanent magnet. Each paperclip has become, temporarily, a magnet. If the permanent magnet is removed, the paperclips no longer attach to one another. The magnetic properties of the paperclips were "induced" and not a permanent characteristic. More technicalities can be present with this term, because magnetism in an object can be induced in other ways than the application of a magnetic field. In the absence of such technical considerations, it is safe to assume that the term "induced magnetism" just means a temporary state of magnetization of an object induced by an external magnetic field provided by a permanent magnet or an electromagnet.
What is a example of induced magnetism?
Magnetic fields can be generated by either a permanent magnet, or generating it by electrical flow such as through a coil. If the magnet is then put near another material such as iron... the iron will then also start exhibiting an INDUCED magnetic field. Induction motors operate on this principle with the armature being non-magnetic... and the motor operates by inducing a magnetic field into the armature. Superconductors are unique that a magnet will induce an opposite magnetic field in them, and will be repulsed by the magnet.
Can the strength of natural magnets be increased?
The strength of natural magnets be increased in various ways. Artificial magnetism can be induced so as to increase magnetism.
What is Application of DC magnetism in tape recorder?
Magnetism is used in the tape drive motor, In the solenoid that moves the tape head to press against the tape. To erase the recording as the tape is moved past.
What do scientists think causes magnetism?
All magnetism is due to circulating electric currents. In magnetic materials the magnetism is produced by electrons orbiting within the atoms; In most substances the magnetic effects of different electrons cancel each other out, but in some, such as iron, a net magnetic field can be induced by aligning the atoms.

Why is magnetism induced into an iron bar placed near a magnet?
A magnetic field induces an electric current. Hence, by placing the iron bar close to the magnet, a current is induced; and so we are, in effect, creating an electromagnet.
What is induced magnetsim?
When you are submitted to an area of high magnetism which makes items magnetized. For example, if you have a watch on and then it becomes magnetized from electricity, it no longer works.
