Conduction and induction are two distinct electrical phenomena. Conduction refers to the movement of charges, typically electrons, driven by an electric field, exemplified by current flowing through a resistor connected to a battery. In contrast, induction involves the movement of charges induced by a changing magnetic field within a conductor, as seen in generators linked to power-producing windmills. Understanding these differences is crucial for applications in electrical engineering and physics.
