Question

Electromagnetic induction was discovered by:

A.

Isaac Newton

B.

Michael Faraday

C.

Alessandro Volta

D.

Albert Einstein

Correct option is B

Sol: The correct answer is (b) Michael Faraday

Key Points:

  • Electromagnetic Induction is the process by which a changing magnetic field induces an electric current in a conductor.
  • This phenomenon was discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. He demonstrated that when a magnetic field around a conductor changes, an electromotive force (EMF) is induced in the conductor.
  • This discovery forms the basis for modern electric generators, transformers, and many other electrical devices.

Information booster:

  • Isaac Newton: Known for the laws of motion and universal gravitation, not related to electromagnetic induction.
  • Alessandro Volta: Invented the electric battery but did not discover electromagnetic induction.
  • Albert Einstein: Known for the theory of relativity and contributions to quantum mechanics, not electromagnetic induction.
