Glossary “electromagnetic induction” Definition:
1). The induction of a voltage into a conductor by passing the conductor through a magnetic field or passing the magnetic field across the conductor. 2). Discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831. Faraday’s first rule of electromagnetic induction states: that whenever a conductor passes through a magnetic field a voltage is induced into that conductor that is directly proportional to the strength of the magnetic field and the speed of it’s movement.
