The act or process of reasoning from a part to a             whole, from particulars to generals, or from the             individual to the universal; also, the result or inference             so reached.                         Induction is an inference drawn from all the                      particulars.                                       --Sir W.                                                                               Hamilton.                         Induction is the process by which we conclude that                      what is true of certain individuals of a class, is                      true of the whole class, or that what is true at                      certain times will be true in similar circumstances                      at all times.                                    --J.

(Physics) The property by which one body, having             electrical or magnetic polarity, causes or induces it in             another body without direct contact; an impress of             electrical or magnetic force or condition from one body on             another without actual contact.          {Electro-dynamic induction}, the action by which a variable             or interrupted current of electricity excites another             current in a neighboring conductor forming a closed             circuit.          {Electro-magnetic induction}, the influence by which an             electric current produces magnetic polarity in certain             bodies near or around which it passes.          {Electro-static induction}, the action by which a body             possessing a charge of statical electricity develops a             charge of statical electricity of the opposite character             in a neighboring body.          {Induction coil}, an apparatus producing induced currents of             great intensity. It consists of a coil or helix of stout             insulated copper wire, surrounded by another coil of very             fine insulated wire, in which a momentary current is             induced, when a current (as from a voltaic battery),             passing through the inner coil, is made, broken, or             varied.
