1. inductive

   Inductive refers to a form of logical reasoning where the conclusion is drawn based on a pattern observed in a series of specific observations or instances. The conclusion is generally regarded as probable or likely, rather than being definitively proven. This can also refer to a type of learning (inductive learning) or a process in physics (inductive effect or inductive reasoning). In electrical engineering, inductive refers to the property of an electric circuit where a change in current induces an electromotive force.
