In 1831, an English scientist named Michael faraday wanted to test the connection between electricity and magnetism. Faraday already knew that he could crate an electromagnet by running a current through a wire that was looped around an iron Taurus or ring in the circuit, layout below. What component should be placed in box 8 in order to run a current through the wire?

In order to complete the circuit and run a current through the wire in box 8, a power source such as a battery or a generator should be placed in box 8.
