Electromagnetic pickups use the principal of induction. The pickup consists of a permanent magnet wrapped with many turns of fine wire. The pickup is mounted on the body of the instrument, in close proximity to the strings. When the instrument's strings vibrate in the magnetic field of the permanent magnet, a current is induced in the wire wrapped around the magnet. The signal created is then carried to amplification or recording equipment via a cable.
