► We derive and discuss inducing magnetic field signals of various frequencies inside the Jovian magnetosphere. ► Inductive responses of the interiors of the Galilean satellites are discussed. ► Signals originating from subsurface oceans should be detectable. ► The core layers will be very hard to detect
