Electromagnetic Induction

Electromagnetic Induction:
        The discovery of magnetic induction dates back to the 1800's, when scientist Michael Faraday and teacher Joseph Henry were working to convert magnetism into electricity. Electromagnetic induction is a process that uses magnetic fields to produce a voltage (or in some cases a current, as shown below).

        A conductive material is moved through the magnetic field, which in turn produces a current or voltage through that material. This concept is applied to generators and electric guitar pickups.
