The discovery of electromagnetic induction
Faraday Studies culminated in the discovery in 1831 of electromagnetic induction. Faraday studied in detail this phenomenon, and led his basic law, found the dependence of the induced current on the magnetic properties of the medium, and investigated the phenomenon of self-induction extracurrent closing and opening. -
Faraday suggested
In 1832, Faraday suggested that the propagation of electromagnetic wave interactions is a process that occurs at a finite rate. -
Faraday discovered
In 1845, Faraday discovered the phenomenon of rotation of the plane of polarization of light in a magnetic field (Faraday effect).
