    Study Notes

    Electromagnetic Induction

    • Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery of electromagnetic induction.

    Faraday's Experiment

    • In his first experimental demonstration of electromagnetic induction, Faraday wrapped two insulated copper wires around an iron ring.
    • When current started to flow in one wire, Faraday expected to observe a magnetic field around the ring, but he did not expect it to induce a current in the second wire.

    Independent Discovery

    • In 1832, Joseph Henry independently discovered electromagnetic induction.

    Faraday's Observations

    • Faraday called the transient current he observed when he connected the wire to the battery an "induced current" or "electro-motive force".
    • This induced current was a fundamental concept in understanding electromagnetic induction.
