 INTRODICTION
Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the
production of an electromotive force(i.e., voltage) across
an electrical conductor in a changing magnetic field.
Michael Faraday is generally credited with the discovery
of induction in 1831, and James Clerk
Maxwell mathematically described it as Faraday's law of
induction. Lenz's law describes the direction of the
induced field. Faraday's law was later generalized to
become the Maxwell–Faraday equation, one of the
four Maxwell equations in his theory
of electromagnetism.
Electromagnetic induction has found many
applications,including electrical components such
as inductors and transformers, and devices such
as electric motors and generators.
Objective:
To Study The Phenomenon Of Electromagnetic
Induction.

Theory:
Electricity and magnetism were considered separate
and unrelated phenomena for a long time. In the early
decades of the nineteenth century, experiments on
electric current by Oersted, Ampere and a few others
established the fact that electricity and magnetism are
inter-related. They found that moving electric charges
produce magnetic fields. For example, an electric
current deflects a magnetic compass needle placed in
its vicinity. This naturally raises the questions like: Is
the converse effect possible? Can moving magnets
produce electric currents? Does the nature permit such
a relation between electricity and magnetism? The
answer is resounding yes! The experiments of Michael
Faraday in England and Joseph Henry in USA,
conducted around 1830, demonstrated conclusively
that electric currents were induced in closed coils
when subjected to changing magnetic fields. In this
chapter, we will study the phenomena associated with
changing magnetic fields and understand the
underlying principles. The phenomenon in which
electric current is generated by varying magnetic fields
is appropriately called electromagnetic induction.

When Faraday first made public his discovery that

relative motion between a bar magnet and a wire loop
produced a small current in the latter, he was asked,
“What is the use of it?” His reply was: “What is the use
of a new born baby?” The phenomenon of
electromagnetic induction is not merely of theoretical
or academic interest but also of practical utility.
Imagine a world where there is no electricity – no
electric lights, no trains, no telephones and no personal
computers. The pioneering experiments of Faraday and
Henry have led directly to the development of modern
day generators and transformers. Today’s civilisation
owes its progress to a great extent to the discovery of
electromagnetic induction.
The phenomenon of electromagnetic induction is the
existence of an induced current in a circuit (such as a
coil) placed in a region where the magnetic field
motion changes with the time. The magnetic field may
change due to relative motion between coil and
magnet placed near the coil. We know that a current-
carrying conductor also produces magnetic field that
changes with a change in the current flowing through
it. Thus if a coil is placed near to a current-carring
conductor, an induced current in the coil may setup
due to a change in the current through the current-
carrying conductor.
Materials Required:
Magnetic bar, a LED, coil and connecting wires.
Procedure:
1. Take a coil of wire having a large number of turns.
2. Connect the end of the coil to a galvanometer.
3. Take a strong bar magnet and move its north pole
into the coil and observe the changes in the
galvanometer needle.
4. Repeat earlier step with the south pole of the bar
magnet.
5. Now repeat the procedure with the coil having a
different number of turns and the variation in the
deflection of the galvanometer needle.
Observations:
1. When we move the magnet in or out of the coil, the
needle of galvanometer gets deflected in different
directions.
2. When we insert the North Pole (N) of bar magnet
into the coil, the needle gets deflected in negative
direction.
3. When we insert the South Pole (S) of bar magnet
into the coil, the needle gets deflected in positive
direction.
4. When we move the bar magnet in or out of the coil
with varying speed, the speed of deflection changes
accordingly.
5. As we increase the number of turns in the coil, the
deflection increases.
Result:

1. The Light glow indicates the presence of current in

the coil.
2. The intensity of light gives the rate at which the
current is induced.
3. The intensity of light changes with the change in
number of turns in the coil - more the number of turns
in the coil greater intensity of light.
