What are the differences between induction and non-induction pans in terms of their heating capabilities and compatibility with induction cooktops?

Induction pans are compatible with induction cooktops because they are made of magnetic materials that respond to the magnetic field generated by the cooktop, heating up quickly and evenly. Non-induction pans, on the other hand, are not compatible with induction cooktops as they do not have magnetic properties and will not heat up efficiently on such cooktops.
