Will an induction cooker work in reverse if a hot pan is place on the coil?

[matt6770]

I was wondering whether an induction hob cooker would work in reverse if a hot pan is placed on the coil - so would this generate a current? I would assume not as the heat induction pan wouldn't be able to create a magnetic field in the coil?

You are correct...the hot pan can heat the coil, mostly via conduction, but alas a hot object won't usually produce electromagnetic induction...just a little infrared radiation...

Yes shame it would be cool. Thanks for the response.
