(N/A) For a long time,electricity and magnetism were considered separate and unrelated phenomena. In the early $19^{th}$ century,experiments by Oersted,Ampere,and others established that electricity and magnetism are interrelated,showing that moving electric charges produce magnetic fields.
Michael Faraday in England and Joseph Henry in the $USA$,around $1830$,demonstrated that electric currents are induced in closed coils when subjected to changing magnetic fields.
Electromagnetic induction is the phenomenon in which an electric current is generated in a conductor by a varying magnetic field.
