Tan Aw Sa Papel : Faraday Was Probably Very Disappointed That This Experiment Was Not Successful

In 1820, Hans Christian Orsted discovered that an electric current in a wire can exert a force on a compass needle, showing that an electric field can interact with a magnetic field. This stimulated further research. Michael Faraday reasoned that if a changing magnetic field can induce an electric field, a changing electric field should induce a magnetic field. He conducted an experiment where a bar magnet was moved near a loop of wire connected to a lightbulb, and found that it caused an electric current to light the bulb, demonstrating electromagnetic induction.

In 1820, a Danish physicist (Hans Christian Orsted) discovered that an

electric current in a wire can exert a force on a compass needle. An


electric currnet is produced by an electric field and a compass needle is
a small bar magnet, so Orsted discovery also showed that an electric
field can lead to a force on a magnet.

He therefore concluded that (basaha sa powerpoint)

When this connection was announced in 1820, it was a complete


surprise and stimulated many further experiments to probe the
connection between electricity and magnetism. So Michael Faraday
reasoned that (tan-aw sa powerpoint)

He attempted to observe such an “induced” electric field using an


experiment like the one sketched in Figure A. Where the bar magnet is
positioned close to a loop of wire.

Faraday was probably very disappointed that this


experiment was not successful.

TAN-AW SA POWERPOINT

(Figure A) When a bar magnet is placed near a loop of


wire, a magnetic field penetrates the loop. (Figure B)
When the bar magnet is motion, an electric current is
induced in the loop, lighting the lightbulb.
