In 1831, Michael Faraday showed that a changing magnetic eld can induce an emf in a circuit. Consider a conducting wire loop (a closed circuit) connected to an ammeter (A) with a bar magnet (initially at rest)

The aim of this experiment is to test the Bequerel relation and to measure the Verdet constant and its dependence on the wavelength of light. You will collect data to plot the light intensity vs. polarizer angle for B=0, and several nonzero B fields. You will then fit

Introduction. “Impelled by a belief in the unity of the forces in nature, Michael Faraday sought, and in 1845 provided, the first phenomenological evidence for the connection between light and magnetism when he discovered the effect that still bears his name.

Intrigued by the fact that a flow of electricity could create magnetism, the great British experimentalist Michael Faraday decided to see if he could generate electricity using magnetism. He pushed a bar magnet in and out of a coil of wire and found an electric current being generated.

September 1821 experiments On 3 September, Faraday started by repeating one of Oersted’s 1820 experiments in which a vertical conducting wire was moved along the side of a horizontal magnetic needle. In the first sketch in his Diary that day (see figure 1) the needle would appear to be suspended, as he is recording forces at its centre.
A simple statment of Faraday’s Law of Induction, suitable for beginners, is that nature always tries to resist a changing magnetic field; when the changing magnetic field passes through a conducting loop, nature can resist, by means of inducing a current in that conducting loop.
