Preferred term

induction equation  

Definition

  • The induction equation, one of the magnetohydrodynamic equations, is a partial differential equation that relates the magnetic field and velocity of an electrically conductive fluid such as a plasma. It can be derived from Maxwell's equations and Ohm's law, and plays a major role in plasma physics and astrophysics, especially in dynamo theory.
