Introduction
- Electricity and magnetism were considered separate and unrelated phenomena for a long time.
- In the early nineteenth century, scientists such as Oersted and Ampere established that electricity and magnetism are related. They found that moving electric charges produce magnetic fields.
- For example, an electric current flowing through a conductor can deflect a magnetic compass needle placed near it.
- Around 1830, Michael Faraday in England and Joseph Henry in the USA showed that an electric current can be induced in a closed coil when it is exposed to a changing magnetic field.

Definition: Electromagnetic Induction
The phenomenon in which electric current is generated in a conductor or closed coil due to a varying magnetic field is called electromagnetic induction.

Electromagnetic Induction
A current is produced when:
- A magnet moves relative to a coil
- A coil moves in the magnetic field of a magnet
- The magnetic field around a stationary conductor changes
- The current in a nearby solenoid coil is switched on or off
- The current in a nearby solenoid coil is increased or decreased

Faraday’s Experiment
- Faraday showed in 1831 that a moving magnet can produce an electric current in a conductor.
- When a magnet moves towards or away from a coil, a small current is produced in the coil.
- The current produced in the coil is called induced current.

Faraday’s Law of Induction
Faraday’s experiments showed that current is induced in a coil whenever the number of magnetic field lines passing through the coil changes.
This may happen when:
- A magnet moves towards or away from a coil
- A coil is moved in front of a solenoid
- Current in a solenoid is switched on or switched off
- Current in a solenoid is increased or decreased
Therefore: Whenever the number of magnetic field lines passing through a coil changes, a current is induced in the coil.
This statement is known as Faraday’s Law of Induction.

Significance
Electromagnetic induction is not only a theoretical concept. It has important practical uses in daily life and modern technology.
The principle of electromagnetic induction is used in:
- Electric generators
- Transformers
- Induction motors
- Wireless chargers
Without electromagnetic induction, modern civilisation would not have electric lights, trains, telephones, personal computers, or communication networks.
Faraday's and Henry's experiments led to the development of generators and transformers, which are important for producing and using electricity.
