Rainmaking, induced or artificial precipitation, is the practice of inducing or increasing precipitation as a means to stave off drought.

Rainfall can be induced in the Guinea Savannah by planting more vegetation cover.


What types of rainfall are there?

The main types of rainfall are convective, frontal, orographic, and cyclonic. Convective rainfall occurs when warm air rises and cools, leading to condensation and precipitation. Frontal rainfall happens when two air masses with different temperatures meet, causing the warm air to rise and cool. Orographic rainfall occurs when moist air is forced to rise over a mountain range, cooling and creating precipitation. Cyclonic rainfall results from the convergence of air masses around a low-pressure system, leading to widespread precipitation.

Is induced voltage and induced currrent the same?

Induced voltage is alsocalled ghost or phantom voltage as if you apply a load it vanishes. induced voltage will be potential/electrical pressure. Amperage is the actual flow of current being used, Watts being its calibration of total power used.

Difference between back EMF and induced EMF?

An induced electromotive force (emf) is an induced voltage. Voltage (emf) causes current flow, and this induced voltage will cause a current that is called the induced current.We might also add that the induced current will cause a magnetic field to expand about the current path, and this field will "sweep" the conductor. The sweeping of the conductor by that expanding magnetic field will set up an emf that will oppose the emf that was creating it.CommentTechnically, there is no such thing as an 'induced current'. It is voltage that is induced. Any current flows as a result of that induced voltage being applied to a load. But that current is certainly NOT induced!


What is self induced?

When a current in a coil increases or decreases, there is a change in magnetic flux linking the coil,an e.m.f. is induced. This is called self induced e.m.f. and the process is called self induction.


What determines whether an induced current is a direct current or an alternating current?

There is no such thing as an 'induced current'. What is 'induced' is a voltage. The direction of the induced voltage is determined by the direction of the changing current that induces that voltage, because the induced voltage will always act to oppose that change in current. So, if the current is increasing, then the direction of the induced voltage will act to opposethe increase in current. If the current is decreasing, then the direction of the induced voltage will act to sustainthat current.


Is flow of induced current necessary when induces emf is being produced?

There is no such thing as an 'induced current'. Voltages are induced, not currents. If a voltage is self-induced into a coil, then that voltage will oppose any change in current. If a voltage is mutually-induced into a separate coil, no current will flow unless that coil is connected to a load.
