induced voltage (B2)
noun phrase
Pronunciation: /ɪnˈdjuːst ˈvɒl.tɪdʒ/
Definition
An electromotive force that is generated in a conductor by a changing magnetic field, resulting in a voltage difference between two points.
Examples
The induced voltage in the coil was proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.
The transformer used induced voltage to step up the voltage from 120 volts to 240 volts.
