Questions and Answers

Who conclusively demonstrated the induction of electric currents by changing magnetic fields?

  • Michael Faraday (correct)
  • Andre-Marie Ampere
  • Georg Simon Ohm
  • Alessandro Volta

What did Michael Faraday demonstrate through his experiments around 1830?

  • Electric currents are induced in closed coils by changing magnetic fields (correct)
  • Electricity and magnetism are unrelated phenomena
  • Electric current deflects a magnetic compass needle
  • Electric currents do not produce magnetic fields

What did the experiments of Oersted, Ampere, and others establish about electricity and magnetism?
