Discuss contribution of different scientists in electromagnetic. Define electromagnetic induction.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Electricity and magnetism were considered separate and unrelated phenomena for a long time. In the early decades of the nineteenth century, experiments on electric current by Oersted, Ampere and a few others established the fact that electricity and magnetism are interrelated. They found that moving electric charges produce magnetic fields. For example, an electric current deflects a magnetic compass needle placed in its vicinity.
The experiments of Michael Faraday in England and Joseph Henry in USA, conducted around 1830, demonstrated conclusively that electric currents were induced in closed coils when subjected to changing magnetic fields.
"The phenomenon in which electric current is generated by varying magnetic fields is called electromagnetic induction."
