The Maxwell’s equations of electromagnetism and Hertz experiments on the generation and detection of electromagnetic waves in 1887 strongly established the wave nature of light. Towards the same period at the end of 19th century‚ experimental investigations on conduction of electricity (electric discharge) through gases at low pressure in a discharge tube led to many historic discoveries. The discovery of X-rays by Roentgen in 1895‚ and of electron by J. J. Thomson in 1897‚ were important milestones

The Maxwell equations Introduction:- One of Newton’s great achievements was to show that all of the phenomena of classical mechanics can be deduced as consequences of three basic‚ fundamental laws‚ namely Newton’s laws of motion. It was likewise one of Maxwell’s great achievements to show that all of the phenomena of classical electricity and magnetism – all of the phenomena discovered by Oersted‚ Ampère‚ Henry‚ Faraday and others whose names are commemorated in several electrical

Electricity and magnetism run nearly everything we plug in or turn on. Although it’s something we take for granted‚ it has taken hundreds of years of experimentation and research to reach the point where we flick a switch and the lights go on. Ancient Greeks knew rubbing amber generated static electricity‚ but they didn’t know why. The Greek word for amber is elektron. People knew about electricity for a long time. Ancient Greeks noticed that if they rubbed a piece of amber‚ feathers would

ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION Electromagnetic induction is the production of an electromotive force across a conductor when it is exposed to a varying magnetic field. It is described mathematically by Faraday’s law of induction‚ named after Michael Faraday who is generally credited with the discovery of induction in 1831. Electromagnetic induction was discovered independently by Michael Faraday and Joseph Henry in 1831; however‚ Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments.[4][5] In
