### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Electromagnetic Induction**: Electromagnetic induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field within a coil of wire induces an electromotive force (EMF) or voltage in the coil. This is described by Faraday's Law of Induction. 2. **Setting Up the Experiment**: To detect Earth's magnetic field, we can set up an experiment using a conducting coil connected to a sensitive galvanometer. The galvanometer is an instrument that can detect small currents. 3. **Moving the Coil**: When the conducting coil is moved through the Earth's magnetic field, the magnetic flux through the coil changes. According to Faraday's Law, this change in magnetic flux induces a current in the coil. ...
