Definition / Meaning : -

The production of electricity from magnetism is called electromagnetic induction.

Or ,

Electromagnetic induction is the phenomenon of the production of an induced current in a coil placed in a region where the magnet field changes with time

For Example : -

(i) If a bar magnet is moved in and out of coil of wire , even then an electric current is produced. This is an example of electromagnetic induction.

(ii) Another example , when a straight wire is moved up and down rapidly between the two poles of a horseshoe magnet , then an electric current is produced in the wire. This is also an example of electromagnetic induction .
