                         Electromagnetic induction   When a current carrying conductor is placed in a magnetic field in such a manner that the direction of the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field , a force is experienced. This force causes the conductor to move.     Now suppose that a conductor is moving inside the magnetic field or magnetic field is changing around a fixed conductor. This was first studied by English physicist Michael Faraday. And faraday made an important discovery that how a moving magnet can be used to generate electric currents.     To illustrate , how a moving magnet can be used to generate electric currents.   Let us take a coil of wire AB with a large number of turns. And the ends of the coil is connected to the galvanometer       And take a bar magnet. And move its nor...
