Funny switch’s?

[synchro]

Just to complicate things, it is common usage to refer to the voltage produced by either capacitive or inductive coupling as "induced" voltage. In residential situations you rarely if ever have the combination of high current and wire layout necessary to get a noticeable voltage from inductive (magnetic) coupling.

Induced, induction, inductance, and inductor apparently derive from the same Latin word. But except for electrostatic induction it seems like most of these electrical terms pertain to electromagnetics and not, for example, to capacitance or charge.
