Describe an experiment to show that e.m.f is induced due to the relative motion of the wire or the magnet.

Describe an experiment on electromagnetic induction to show that e.m.f is induced due to the relative motion of the wire or the magnet.

Answers

Consider the following diagram

When the wire is moved up the galvanometer deflects in one direction then the opposite direction when moved downwards. When moved horizontally or held in a fixed position there is no deflection in the galvanometer. This shows that e.m.f is induced due to the relative motion of the wire or the magnet.
