Michael Faraday's Discovery of Induction

Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, a phenomenon where a change in magnetic field can induce an electric current in a conductor, while conducting experiments at the Royal Institution in London. This pivotal moment laid the groundwork for modern electromagnetic theory and technology. Faraday's innovative approach combined with his detailed observations enabled him to formulate the laws of electromagnetic induction, critically demonstrating that electricity could be generated without direct contact with a power source.
