  Electric field/Magnetic induction: Definition
It is exactly the same for electric field and magnetic induction: the intensity of the field is significant near its source, and decreases rapidly as one moves away from it.
However the magnetic induction that we usually measure are in the range of the microtesla (µT), that is to say, one millionth of a tesla.
The magnetic permeability of a material is the capability of this material to channel magnetic induction, in other words, to concentrate magnetic flux lines and thus to increase the value of magnetic induction.

 Induction Heating Systems Questions answered by RDO Induction.
The varying magnetic field required for induction heating is developed in the induction heating coil via the flow of AC (alternating current) in the coil.
Induction heating can also heat the part in a highly localized fashion, which can be extremely beneficial when it is desirable or necessary to limit the heat to only a certain region of the part.
Since the induction coil is not in any contact with the part being heated and the part is being presented to the coil in a consistent fashion, the process will remain repeatable, unlike traditional flame heating or resistance heating, which have constantly changing characteristics.

 Magnetic Induction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
When a bar magnet is brought near a closed loop of wire (a conducting ring), an electrical current is induced to flow around the loop.
If the bar magnet is moved by hand, a very small resistive force is felt no matter which way it is moved: in fact, this is required since energy is conserved-- mechanical work must be done against resisting force (drag) if current is to be induced in the loop.
Besides this case, other ways to change magnetic flux through the loop include translating the loop rather than the magnet, rotating the loop, and changing the size or shape of the loop.

 Induction Cooktops
Magnetic induction cooking uses electricity to produce a magnetic field that sends currents into iron atoms that react by movement which causes friction and heat in a metal vessel.
Cooking with magnetic induction is 90 percent efficient, as compared to resistance electric at approximately 65-percent efficiency, and open-flamed gas which measures in the 55-percent efficiency range.
Magnetic induction relies on cooking with vessels that can be magnetized, so glass and copper pots are not suited to this cooking method, but other commonly used cookware made of steel or iron works fine.

To aid generation of the rocking action of the magnet 32, it is preferable that the coil axis be at an angle, preferably 45 degrees, to the plane of the magnet 32.
The mass of the magnet 32 must be kept at a minimum to further increase the efficiency of the design so that the coil's magnetic field does not have to oscillate a larger mass and therefore require a larger energy transfer between the coil 28 and the magnet 32.

In the second part of Equation 1, the mo is the permeability in a vacuum, H is the magnetic field due to the solenoid, and the M is the magnetization of the material (or the change in the flux due to the applied magnetic field).
So to increase the induction in hard magnets a lot more energy needs to be supplied, which incidentally corresponds to the area within the hysteresis loop.
Also note that magnetic induction increases more if there are inclusions or impurities in a material as opposed to a pure material.

 Kiss the Cooktop: Magnetic Induction Cooking Technology A "Cool" Alternative to Radiant Heat - All the POWER without ...
The technology of using magnetic induction for cooking is not new, but after American appliance manufacturers gave up on induction several years ago, it's a big deal to have a North American alternative back as a player in the residential induction cooking market.
Induction works by passing an alternating currant through coils made of ferromagnetic material (magnetic metal) contained in the stove's hobs (area where the cooking vessel sits).
Induction cooking is also highly efficient (85 to 90 percent efficiency compared to gas at 43 percent and electric at 44 percent efficiency).

 Magnets attracting wireless attention | CNET News.com
Magnets are beginning to gain the attention of home-electronics manufacturers and government agencies as an alternative to Bluetooth and other short-range wireless techniques.
At the heart of the new interest in what's known as "magnetic induction" is Aura, or so claims the nine-year-old chipmaker, founded by a group of Massachusetts Institute of Technology graduates.
Magnetic induction differs from Bluetooth and just about every other wireless technique now available, most of which use what's known as radio frequency, or RF, signals--bursts of electrical energy that waft out like ripples in a pond until they reach an antenna.

 Lines of Force
The magnetic lines of force are assumed to emanate from the north pole of a magnet, pass through surrounding space, and enter the south pole.
With the knowledge of magnetic fields and magnetic lines of force developed up to this point, it is simple to understand the manner in which a material becomes magnetized when brought near a magnet.
Since magnetic lines of force travel inside a magnet from the south pole to the north pole, the nail will be magnetized in such a polarity that its south pole will be adjacent to the north pole of the bar magnet.

 Fluxtrol Inc. — Induction Heating Magnetic Flux Concentrators
Induction Heating is an electromagnetic heating method of electrically conductive bodies, which absorb energy from an alternating magnetic field, generated by induction coil (inductor).
Induction heating is caused by the thermal effect of strong eddy currents induced by magnetic alternating flux.
They are used for magnetic flux control (concentrating, shielding or modifying), essentially capturing the alternating magnetic field and re-directing or focusing it to the desired area of the workpiece (or part).
