Concept explainers
The important discovery by physicists Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry.
Answer to Problem 1RCQ
Solution:
Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry made the discovery of
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.
