What is magnetic induction? Explain with the help of an activity.

Answer 1

Magnetic property possessed by a magnetic substance due to the presence of a magnet near it, is called magnetic induction.

Let's understand it with the help of an activity.
Bring the safety pin close to one pole of a bar magnet. After it gets attracted to the magnet, bring an alpin and touch it to the safety pin as shown.

We notice that the alpin will get attached to the safety pin as if the safety pin is also a magnet. Magnetic property is induced in safety pin due to the bar magnet.
