Connection Between Electricity and Magnetism.

Before the 18^th century, people thought that magnetism and electricity were separate subjects of study. After the Oersted experiment electricity and magnetism were united and became a single subject called Electromagnetism. Oersted’s experiment was grateful help of Faraday’s electromagnetic induction.  When there is current, the magnetic field is produced and the current-carrying conductor behaves like a magnet. You may now wonder how was it possible for a lodestone to behave like a magnet when there was no current passing through it.

This experiment was reversed by the faraday; he had understood when the electromagnetic induction is occurring current will be produced. That work was a help to get a noble prize for both.  In the twentieth century only we understood that the magnetic property arises due to the motion of electrons in the lodestone. In the circuit, the electrons flow from the negative of the battery to the positive of the battery and constitute current. As a result, it produces a magnetic field. Using Faraday’s electromagnetic induction world will change the current production technology.

            The extraordinary change in electricity was done by both researchers. Electromagnetic induction is used in many other fields. It has vast applications today. If we have induced a magnet, it will create a current in the circuit. We can able to see the deflection of the galvanometer.
