Faraday's Laws of Electromagnetic Induction In 1831, Michael Faraday, an English physicist gave one of the most basic laws of electromagnetism called Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. This law explains the working principle of most of the electrical motors, generators, electrical transformers and inductors. read more

Faraday cages come in all shapes and sizes, but all of them use a metal screen that conducts electricity, creating a shielding effect. Hemera Technologies/©Getty Images/Thinkstock Electricity is the lifeblood of many aspects of our world. read more

Faraday's law of induction is a basic law of electromagnetism predicting how a magnetic field will interact with an electric circuit to produce an electromotive force (EMF)—a phenomenon called electromagnetic induction. It is the fundamental operating principle of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical motors, generators and solenoids. The Maxwell–Faraday equation is a generalization of Faraday's law, and is listed as one of Maxwell's equations. read more
