Faraday’s Experiment 1
Faraday’s Experiment 1
One of the scientists Faraday performed series of experiments and based on the results he gave law on induction.
He introduced the phenomenon of electromagnetic induction.
Induction means to induce or to generate something.
Electromagnetic Induction means production of electric current due to magnetic field.
Magnetic field is capable of producing current in a conductor.
Michael Faraday
Faraday took a coil and attached a galvanometer to it.
As there is no battery attached therefore there is no source of current.
He brought the magnet near the coil.
When the magnet is moved towards the coil galvanometer showed deflection.
Galvanometer even showed the deflection in the opposite direction when the magnet is taken away from the coil.
When magnet was not moved there was no deflection in the galvanometer.
This show current is related to magnet.
Faster the magnet is moved the more is the deflection in the galvanometer.This showed more and more current flows if the magnet is moved very fast.
Same effect was observed if the coil is moved and the magnet was not moved.
Observation:-
Relative motion between magnet and coil induced electric current in the coil
