Description: The Faraday paradox or Faraday's paradox is any experiment in which Michael Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction appears to predict an incorrect result. The paradoxes fall into two classes: ´ Faraday's law appears to predict that there will be zero EMF but there is a non-zero EMF. ´ Faraday's law appears to predict that there will be a non-zero EMF but there is a zero EMF. Faraday deduced his law of induction in 1831, after inventing the first electromagnetic generator or dynamo, but was never satisfied with his own explanation of the paradox.
