Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that electric guitar pickups work by electromagnetic induction?

Yes. One physics Q&A states directly that guitar pickups convert string-induced magnetic flux changes into electric signals via electromagnetic induction. Other sources describe induction generally or list pickups as an application, without explaining the mechanism.
