Which famous experiment was done by Michael Faraday in 1831?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Thi correct answeris option 3 i.e. Discovery of electromagnetic induction.
In 1831, Michael Faraday conducted experiments that led to the discovery of electromagnetic induction, which is the basis of modern electric technology.
- Faraday used an 'induction ring' to discover that electricity could be generated in a wire by using the electromagnetic effect of another wire's current. This was the first electric transformer.
- He also discovered magneto-electric induction, which is the production of a steady electric current. He did this by rotating a copper disc between the poles of a magnet. This was the first generator.
