INTRODUCTION
  I’m Miriam Juaton, taking of Bachelor Secondary of Education Major in Science. So in
my topic that I will choose is about Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

My term paper is about electromagnetic induction. Electromagnetic induction is defined

as the phenomenon of generation of electric current in a circuit due to effect of changing
magnetic field around a conductor in which current is produced or the phenomenon of
production of induced potential difference or induced current in a coil, because of a
changing magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction.

Electromagnetic induction was discovered by MICHAEL FARADAY in 1831, this is

called FARADAY’S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION. Faraday’s law of
electromagnetic induction states the manner in which the electric circuit would interact
with the magnetic field thereby creating a specific force.

BODY AND CONCLUSION:

 It is one of the most important to use in our daily life, because electromagnetic induction
serves as a basic principle of working for many of the home appliances in household applications.
And also electromagnetic induction is very useful in electrical generators, transformer and motors.
Well, the most well-known application of electromagnetic induction is the alternating current
generator, electrical transformer and can also magnetic flow.
 ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION: MICHAEL
FARADAY'S LAW OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

Well, about electromagnetic induction MICHAEL FARADAY was a chemist and physicist from
England. And Electromagnetic induction as defined by Stuart Bushong is an electric current is
induced in a circuit if some part of that circuit is in a changing magnetic field. This observation is
summarized in what is called FARADAY’S LAW or the first law of electromagnetic. After a series of
different experiments, Faraday determined that an electrical current cannot exist just by the presence
of a magnetic field. If magnets are set next to a coil, the meter would generate no current. Yet if the
magnets are moved back and forth near the coil, the ammeter indicates a current. Without
electromagnetic induction we would not have magnetic resonance imaging. Electromagnetic induction
is truly a phenomenon in this day and age, if it was not for Faraday’s discovery, the medical field
would definitely be missing out on of the most important medical concepts to date. Auto transformers,
step up transformers, and step down transformer are all governed by electromagnetic induction. They
would not be able to function without it, and neither would we. Faraday’s inventions helped to form
the foundation of electric motor technology and it is because of his efforts that electricity is so
important in the technology world today.

In 1831 Faraday published a paper on a peculiar class of optical deceptions. In the same year he
published a paper on vibrating surfaces in which he solved an acoustical problem which, though of
extreme simplicity when solved, appears to have baffled many men. The problem was to account for
the fact that light bodies, such as the seed of lycopodium, collected at the vibrating parts of sounding
plates, while sand ran to the nodal lines. Faraday showed that that the lights bodies were entangled in
the little whirlwinds formed in the air over the places of vibration, and through which the heavier sand
was readily projected. Faraday’s resources as an experimental were so wonderful and his delight in
experiment was so great, that he sometimes almost ran into excess in this direction. Faraday never
could work from the experiments of others. He knew that the wire which carried electricity current
was an electrified body was sufficient to excite by induction an electrified body, and still that all
attempts had failed to make it excite in other wires a state similar to its own. He knew well that form
every experiment issues a kind of radiation, luminous in different degrees to different minds, and he
hardly trusted himself to reason upon an experiment that he had not seen. He began his experiments
on the induction of electric currents by composing a helix of two insulated wires which were would
side by side round the same wooden cylinder. One of these wires he connected with a sensitive
galvanometer. When connection with the battery was made, and while the current flowed, no effect
whatever was observed at the galvanometer. But he never accepted an experimental result, until he
had applied to it the utmost power at his command. He raised his battery from ten cells to one hundred
twenty cells, but without avail. The current flowed calmly through the battery wire without producing
during its flow, any sensible result upon the galvanometer. He noticed that a feeble movement of the
needle always occurred at the moment when he made contact with the battery that the needle would
afterwards returns to its former position and remain quietly there unaffected by the flowing current.
At the moment when the circuit was interrupted the needle again moved and in a direction opposed to
that observed on the competition of the circuit. He invented electromagnetic induction in 1831.
Faraday experimented with magnet fields carrying direct current electrical currents. Faraday found
that magnetism affected light rays and that there was a relationship between the two. His inventions
helped to form the foundation of electric motor technology and it is, because of his efforts that
electricity is so important in the technology world. Michael Faraday invented an early form of the
Bunsen burner and the system of oxidation members, he was partly responsible for coining many
familiar words including electrode, cathode and ion. Faraday had little bit of higher mathematics.
Nonetheless, even though the only and education until the age of 14, he became one of the most
influential scientists in history. The process of placing conductor in changing magnetic field to
produce voltage across a conductor is called electromagnetic induction. IN electromagnetic induction
current is produced or generate by a moving or changing magnetic field. Michael Faraday conducted
the induction ring experiment that shows current is produced by changing magnetic fields which is
called Faraday's law of induction. Transformer is a common example that uses electromagnetic
induction. As seen in the image below, transformer has two coils around an iron core. It changes the
alternating current voltage on the primary coil by increasing or decreasing electromotive force in the
secondary coil. Other applications of electromagnetic induction are: generator and motor.
