 INTRODUCTION

Electromagnetic Induction: Electromagnetic induction is a phenomena

in which magnetic field is used to generate electric current in a
object,coil,etc. This are mostly used in
motors,generators,transformers,etc.

ElectroMagnet: When a soft metal is surrounded by coil and electric

current is passed through the soft metal to convert the soft metal into a
electro magent.

Induction: This is a process of generating electric current by placing the

current in a changing magnetic field.
 THEORY

INVENTION: Electromagnetic Induction was discovered by Michael

Faraday in 1831, and James Clerk Maxwell mathematically
described it as Faraday’s law of induction. Faraday noticed that
when he moved a permanent magnet in and out of a coil or a single
loop of wire it induced an ElectroMotive Force or emf, in other
words a Voltage, and therefore a current was produced. So what
Michael Faraday discovered was a way of producing an electrical
current in a circuit by using only the force of a magnetic field and
not batteries. This then lead to a very important law linking
electricity with magnetism.

DISCOVERY: Faraday took a magnet and a coil and connected the

coil with a galvanometer. First he moved the magnet toward the
coil, the galvanometer showed deflection in one direction. Again he
moved the magnet back to its position, the galvanometer showed
deflection but this time it showed deflection in the opposite
direction.

He did this process again with the coil and magnet but this time he
moved the coil and got the same results as previous time.

ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD( E.M.F): When a changing magnetic

field is placed near a coil the coil generates electric current in it.

INDUCED EMF: If a changing magnetic field is passed through a coil

then a electromagnetic field is generated in the coil. There are 2
ways to generate emf in coil:

1) By moving the magnet or magnetic field in different directions.

2) By moving the coil in different directions.
