Electromagnetic Induction

The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. He discovered that moving a wire in a magnetic field generates an electric current in the wire. This phenomenon is known as electromagnetic induction and the current so produced is...

Kicking Wire Experiment

When electric current is passed through a conductor placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a mechanical force. The force due to magnetic field acting on a conductor can be demonstrated by Kicking Wire Experiment. Kicking Wire Experiment Take a flexible copper wire...

Electromagnet

 An electromagnet is a temporary magnet in which a long insulated copper wire is wrapped on a soft iron core in the form of a helix. Thus, an electromagnet is a solenoid having a core of soft iron core at its centre. When electric current in passed through it, it...
