Answer to Problem 1RCQ

Solution:

Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry made the discovery of electromagnetic induction.

Explanation of Solution

Discovery of electromagnetic induction is one of the greatest scientific achievements of all time and it had tremendous technological consequences. The credit for this discovery goes to Faraday. However, the American physicist Joseph Henry made some observations (self-inductance and Mutual inductance) comparable to Faraday's at nearly the same time, and for that reason, Faraday and Henry are often considered to be co-discoverers of some aspects of electromagnetic induction. 

Conclusion:

Thus, it was Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry who made the discovery of electromagnetic induction.
