Electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael Faraday in 1831 and Joseph Henry in 1832. [4] Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments. [5] [6] Faraday's 1831 demonstration [7]
Electromagnetic or magnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force (emf) 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 .
The magnetic field (marked B, indicated by red field lines) around wire carrying an electric current (marked I) Compass and wire apparatus showing Ørsted's experiment (video [1]) In electromagnetism , Ørsted's law , also spelled Oersted's law , is the physical law stating that an electric current induces a magnetic field .
Normally experiments to verify the first case consist of measuring the induced current in a closed conducting circuit, concatenated to the magnetic induction field of a magnet, with varying in time, while for the verification of the second case usually we measure the induced current in a closed circuit of variable shape or moving by cutting ...
The existence of classical electromagnetic fields can be inferred from the motion of charged particles, whose trajectories are observable. Electromagnetic fields do explain the observed motions of classical charged particles. A strong requirement in physics is that all observers of the motion of a particle agree on the trajectory of the ...

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 .

The Faraday paradox or Faraday's paradox is any experiment in which Michael Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction appears to predict an incorrect result. The paradoxes fall into two classes: Faraday's law appears to predict that there will be zero electromotive force (EMF) but there is a non-zero EMF.
