ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
Experiment

Introduction
Electromagnetic induction is a process where a conductor placed in a changing
magnetic field causes the production of a voltage across the conductor.
Electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael Faraday and
Joseph Henry in 1831. However, Faraday was the first to publish the results of his
experiments.
In Faraday's first experimental demonstration of electromagnetic induction dated
August 29, 1831, he wrapped two wires around
opposite sides of an iron ring or "torus". Based
on his assessment of recently discovered
properties of electromagnets, he expected that
when current started to flow in one wire, a sort
of wave would travel through the ring and cause
some electrical effect on the opposite side. He
plugged one wire into a galvanometer, and
watched it as he connected the other wire to a
battery.
Indeed, he saw a transient current (which he called a "wave of electricity") when
he connected the wire to the battery, and another when he disconnected it. This induction
was due to the change in magnetic flux that occurred when the battery was connected and
disconnected.
Within two months, Faraday had found several other manifestations of
electromagnetic induction. For example, he saw transient currents when he quickly slid a
bar magnet in and out of a coil of wires, and he generated a steady (DC) current by
rotating a copper disk near the bar magnet with a sliding electrical lead ("Faraday's
disk").
Lenz's law, formulated by Heinrich Lenz in 1834, describes "flux through the
circuit", and gives the direction of the induced EMF and current resulting from
electromagnetic induction.

Procedure:
1. Connect the two alligator clips from the positive and negative terminal of
the Ammeter to the two end points of a 1-loop coil
2. Move the bar magnet IN and OUT of the coil
3. Record the Ammeter deflection or the measured current
4. Connect the two alligator clips from the positive and negative terminal
point of the ammeter and the other end points of a 10-loop coil
5. Move the bar magnet IN and OUT of the coil
6. Record the Ammeter deflection or the measured current
7. Connect the two alligator clips from the positive and negative terminal
point of the Ammeter and the other end points of a 67-loop coil
8. Move the bar magnet IN and OUT of the coil
9. Record the Ammeter deflection or the measured current

10 Loop

2 mA

67 Loop

10 mA

Conclusion:
We therefore conclude that the increase of current is directly proportional
to the number of turns of the coil because as what we have performed we saw
that the current increases as the number of turns of the coil increases and as for
the resistance of the circuit it is inversely proportional to the current.

Observation:
In this experiment there is a pulse of current occurring. The pulse of
current changes direction as the magnet is pushed in and out.
