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.

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 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.
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.
What is the magnetism of an emerald?
there is no magnetism to an emerald
Is paleomagnetism the study of ancient magnetism?
Paleomagnetism is the study of the magnetism of ancient rocks. In principle, it was the study of ancient magnetism
How can be induced?
You can induce magnetism by heating it.
What are 5 example of force?
polarized atomic regions (a magnetic substance) electron-induced magnetism (induction) radio-induced magnetism (radio waves induce current on a conductor that in turn is creates electron induced magnetism) reverse-magnetostriction (the opposite of the effect that states magnetism causes metal to change shape on the atomic level) a flawless LRC circuit

What is affected by electromagnets?
Other magnets, as well as magnetic substances such as iron, in which magnetism is induced by the external magnetic field.
What is affected by a electromagnet?

How do you convert electrical energy to kinetic?
Most often through induced magnetism such as an electric motor.
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.
Magnetism can sometimes be induced in an iron object by?
1.Stroking it with a magnet 2. Applying a current to a coil of wire wrapped around the iron
