How does an induction cookstove work (Technical)



A small note on how an induction cooktop works. Picture is courtsey theinductionsite.com/how-induction-works.shtml
The electronics of the induction stove send an a/c to an electromagnet below the cooking vessel. The magnetic field generated by this electromagnet(1) passes through the bottom of the magnetic cooking vessel (2), producing an current flow in the metal of the vessel. The current flow through the resistance of the metal vessel generates the heat for cooking.
