Answer:

induction

Step-by-step explanation:

a change in current (the pulse) causes a change in the magnetic field resulting from that current. the nearby wire is inside that magnetic field. when that magnetic field changes, it induces a current in any nearby conductor. the amount of current induced depends on the strength of the field and the distance between the conductors.
