Thus far we have discussed the fact that a magneticsubstance in the held of an ordinary magnet, or a con-ductor carrying an electric current, is magnetized. Thisphenomenon, we know, is due to magnetic induction. Itis also a fact that an electric current may be induced ina conductor by causing the latter to move through a mag-netic field. It makes no difference whether this fieldcomes from an ordinary magnet or from an electriccharge passing through a conductor. This action of a HIGH TENSION ELECTRIC CURRENTS 39 magnet or of a current on a conductor moved in its fieldis called electromagnetic induction. Principles of Electromagnetic Induction If the ends of a coil of wire are connected with a gal-vanometer (Fig. 9) and the coil is moved down over anordinary magnet, the galvanometer will show that a mo-mentary electric current has passed through the current continues as long as the coil is in motion,. Fig. 9.—A, magnet with diagrammatic illustration of magnetic lines of force sur-rounding it. B shows a coil of wire connected to a galvanometer, C. and ceases as soon as the coil is brought to rest. If thecoil is withdrawn from the magnet, a current is also in-duced which flows in an opposite direction to the currentwhich was induced when the coil was carried down overthe magnet. These induced currents are produced by the field sur-rounding the magnet moving or cutting across the ivirescomposing the coil. If a current is passed through thecoil? it creates a magnetic field, and, on the other hand, 40 DENTAL AND oliAL IIADK iCKA Il I 5 the movement ! a magnetic field within the <•iI producesa current. As a solenoid is surrounded by a magnetic field similarto an ordinary bar magnet, it follows that if a solenoidcarrying a current wore thrust within (Fig. 10) anothercoil, induced currents will
