Faraday's Experiments on Electricity

Faraday’s experiments demonstrated that changing magnetic fields can generate electric currents, a principle known as electromagnetic induction. He moved a magnet near a coil of wire and observed that an electric current was produced only when the magnetic field was changing—either by moving the magnet or the coil. This revealed that electricity and magnetism are interconnected, leading to the development of electric generators and transformers. Faraday’s work laid the foundation for modern electromagnetism, showing that magnetic fields can create electrical energy, which is essential for many electrical devices and power generation.
