Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.
Faraday’s 1831 experiments showed that changing magnetic flux induces an electromotive effect and introduced field-based patterns that Maxwell later mathematized.

Authored annotation
field lines and induction
Authored explanation
Faraday’s induction and field-line experiments supplied the physical concepts that Maxwell recast into field equations.
How to interpret this relation type
The source experiment, observation, anomaly, or problem materially motivated the development, revision, or acceptance of the target concept. Historical influence is not logical derivation; the edge detail states the documented role and avoids retrospective origin myths.

induction law
Authored explanation
Maxwell’s equations incorporated and generalized Faraday’s empirical induction law.
