The discovery of electromagnetic induction in the early part of the 19th century is one of the
\ngreatest scientific achievements of all time, and it has had tremendous technological consequences.
\nThe credit for this discovery rightfully goes to the great English experimental physicist Michael
\nFaraday. However, the American physicist Joseph Henry made some observations comparable to Faraday\u2019s
\nat nearly the same time, and for that reason, Faraday and Henry are often considered to be
\nco-discoverers of some aspects of electromagnetic induction. We examine Henry\u2019s early research on
\nelectromagnetism, starting from his efforts to improve the electromagnet, which led directly to his
\ninvestigations of induction. We describe his earliest experiments on both mutual and self-induction,
\nand pay particular attention to the relationship of Henry\u2019s research to that of Faraday. The
\napproach is one in which the experiments are described and then analysed using modern theory and
\nterminology.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
