That was an interesting video for sure.

My understanding was that household electricity did operate on the principle of induction when getting delivered from the powerplant to a final destination, but definitely did not think about in the manner of the explanation in the video.

I had seen the video before and it's a good reminder to ask wether we know what we know.....

Induction is the one thing  we can be sure of, regarding electricity. The term itself suggests a unique, almost monolithic working principle.  More and more I tend to see the term as a placeholder, potentially describing different occurrences.

An analogy I can see with the term 'energy': in physics we  typically define it as the capacity to work. Yet there are so many subforms we divide it into: heat energy, potential energy, kinetic, chemical.....
