Electromagnetic induction is the process of generating an electric current by moving a conductor (such as a wire) through a magnetic field or by changing the magnetic field around a stationary conductor. It is based on two main principles:

1. Faraday's Law: This principle states that when a conductor is moved through a magnetic field or when the magnetic field around a conductor changes, an electric current is induced in the conductor.

2. Lenz's Law: This principle states that the direction of the induced current is always such that it opposes the change that caused it. In other words, the induced current creates a magnetic field that tries to cancel out the change in the original magnetic field. This is known as the law of conservation of energy.

Together, these principles explain how electric generators and transformers work, as well as how devices such as induction cooktops and wireless charging pads function.
