Theories and Experiments The goal of physics is to develop theories based on experiments A theory is a \guess,\expressed mathematically, about how system works The theory makes predictions about how a system should work Experiments check the theories' predictions Every theory is a work in progress
1 Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction 1. Experiments ① A magnet and ② two loops of wire,a loop of wire battery and a switch A current is observed in the loop as long as the magnetic flux through the loop is changing with time
