Faradization, a term applied to the pro-duction of induced currents of electricity, and particularly their employment in electro-therapeutics. The generation of this form of electricity was discovered by Faraday in 1831, and is produced by suddenly magnetizing and demagnetizing a soft bar of iron, or interrupting the flow of the galvanic current through a helix, around which bar or helix a secondary coil of wire is placed. Secondary currents are induced in the latter at every interruption of the galvanic or magnetic force. (See Galvanism, and Magneto-Electricity.)
