Define the term induced electric current.

Induced electric current is the electric current that originates in a conductor by changing the magnetic field around the conductor. 

Explanation

The change in magnetic field lines in a coil is the cause of induced electric current in it, and this phenomenon is known as Electromagnetic induction.

 Electromagnetic Induction is a process where a conductor placed in a changing magnetic field (or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field) causes the production of an Electro-Motive Force (Voltage) across the electrical conductor. 

The process of electromagnetic induction works in reverse as well, so that a moving electrical charge generates a magnetic field.
