Electromagnetic Induction

by | Aug 27, 2020 | Magnetic Effects of Current

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...

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

by | Aug 27, 2020 | Magnetic Effects of Current

 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...

Solenoid Magnetic Field

by | Aug 27, 2020 | Magnetic Effects of Current

A solenoid is a long insulted copper wire wound in the form of a helix. When an electric current in passed through a solenoid, magnetic field is produced around it. The pattern of magnetic field produced in a solenoid when an electric current is passed through it is...
