noun
electrostatic induction
Technical term in physics and electrical engineering. Refers to the redistribution of electric charge in an object caused by the influence of nearby charges.
静電誘導によって、導体に電荷が分離する。
Electrostatic induction causes charge separation in a conductor.
Electromagnetic induction, where a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force, distinct from the static charge redistribution of 静電誘導.
Compound of 静電 (seiden, 'static electricity') and 誘導 (yūdō, 'induction'). A straightforward technical term.
