PRINCIPLES OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION

Electromagnetic induction is the phenomenon of inducing an e.m.f. into a circuit due to a changing magnetic field. Faradays’ experiments i. Iron Ring Experiment: two coils of insulated copper wire are wound round a soft iron ring. The ends of coil A are connected to a...
