In 1831, Faraday made his most famous discovery: electromagnetic induction. He found that moving a magnet through a coil of wire generates an electric current, a principle that forms the basis of ...

Between the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the development of the electric generator 50 years elapsed. Why did it take so long for Faraday's basic work to be applied? By Harold I. Sharlin ...

Who knew that magnetic fields could be so useful? Astronomers are able to use magnetic fields to map our environment within ...

In 1830, English physicist Michael Faraday confirmed Oersted's theory, and established the principle of electromagnetic induction. In 1864, James Clerk Maxwell, an experimental physics ...

Michael Faraday made the induction ring in his laboratory in the basement of the Royal Institution in August 1831. It's made up of: two long pieces of copper wire, insulated by cotton thread and ...

As early as the 19th century, Michael Faraday questioned the possibility of harnessing Earth's magnetic field to produce energy. His experiments, based on electromagnetic induction principles ...

[Grady] of Practical Engineering starts out with a much more complicated flow measurement modality – electromagnetic detection. He does a great job of explaining Faraday’s Law of Induction and ...

The museum is dedicated to Michael Faraday who discovered electro-magnetic induction, electro-magnetic rotations, the magneto-optical effect and more. Visitors can learn about Faraday and see his ...
