Electromagnetic Induction

The phenomenon called electromagnetic induction was first noticed and investigated by Michael Faraday, in 1831. Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) in a conductor as a result of a changing magnetic field about the conductor and is a very important concept. Faraday discovered that, whenever the magnetic field about an electromagnet was made to grow and collapse by closing and opening the electric circuit of which it was a part, an electric …

…With this success, the student sees the theory in a tangible form and this would help to cement the concepts of electromagnetic induction in their memory. Works Cited: 1.
