Can anyone please tell me the difference between ceramic hobs and induction hobs?
And, which is better?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.Induction hobs are usually also ceramic, and they heat up more quickly, but they do need iron/steel bottomed pans.
Non-induction ceramic have a heating element below the surface, induction generate heat in the pans themselves (an induction hob switched on but nothing on it remains cool, a non-induction with nothing on it heats up)
One solution to unsuitable pans is to invest in a steel plate to rest them on over the hob. A bit inefficient though, and also a bit of a hazard in my opinion.
Widely available, one example here.
