  2. Electromagnetic induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_induction

    Electromagnetic induction has found many applications, including electrical components such as inductors and transformers, and devices such as electric motors and generators. History Faraday's experiment showing induction between coils of wire: The liquid battery (right) provides a current that flows through the small coil (A) , creating a ...

  3. Joseph Henry - Wikipedia

    He invented a precursor to the electric doorbell (specifically a bell that could be rung at a distance via an electric wire, 1831) [7] and electric relay (1835). [8] His work on the electromagnetic relay was the basis of the practical electrical telegraph , invented separately by Samuel F. B. Morse and Sir Charles Wheatstone .

  4. Faraday's law of induction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday's_law_of_induction

    Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments. [5] [6] Faraday's 1831 demonstration [7] Faraday's notebook on August 29, 1831 [8] describes an experimental demonstration of electromagnetic induction (see figure) [9] that wraps two wires around opposite sides of an iron ring (like a modern toroidal transformer).

    Electromagnetic rotation experiment of Faraday, 1821, the first demonstration of the conversion of electrical energy into motion [48] In 1821, soon after the Danish physicist and chemist Hans Christian Ørsted discovered the phenomenon of electromagnetism , Davy and William Hyde Wollaston tried, but failed, to design an electric motor .

  6. History of electromagnetic theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_electromagnetic...

    The experiment which led Faraday to the discovery of electromagnetic induction was made as follows: He constructed what is now and was then termed an induction coil, the primary and secondary wires of which were wound on a wooden bobbin, side by side, and insulated from one another. In the circuit of the primary wire he placed a battery of ...

  7. 1831 – Michael Faraday began experiments leading to his discovery of the law of electromagnetic induction, though the discovery may have been anticipated by the work of Francesco Zantedeschi. His breakthrough came when he wrapped two insulated coils of wire around a massive iron ring, bolted to a chair, and found that upon passing a current ...

    These experiments established that light and these waves were both a form of electromagnetic radiation obeying the Maxwell equations. [ 21 ] Hertz's directional spark transmitter (center) , a half-wave dipole antenna made of two 13 cm brass rods with spark gap at center (closeup left) powered by a Ruhmkorff coil , on focal line of a 1.2 m x 2 m ...

    The magnet was made of 18 turns of bare copper wire (insulated wire had not yet been invented). [ 1 ] William Sturgeon ( / ˈ s t ɜːr dʒ ə n / ; 22 May 1783 – 4 December 1850) was an English electrical engineer and inventor who made the first electromagnet and the first practical electric motor .
