Induction heating
Induction heating is a process that uses electromagnetic fields to heat metal objects. When an alternating current flows through a coil, it generates a magnetic field that induces electrical currents—called eddy currents—in nearby conductive materials. These currents create heat within the metal itself without needing direct contact or flames. Induction heating is commonly used in cooking (like induction cooktops), metalworking, and various industrial applications because it heats quickly and efficiently, allowing for precise temperature control and reducing energy waste.
