The lectures were first printed as a book in 1861. In 2016, Bill Hammack published a video series of the lectures supplemented by commentary and a companion book. [ 1 ] Faraday's ideas are still used as the basis for open teaching about energy in modern primary and secondary schools [ 2 ]
Michael Faraday (/ ˈ f ær ə d eɪ,-d i /; 22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867) was an English chemist and physicist who contributed to the study of electrochemistry and electromagnetism. His main discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetic induction , diamagnetism , and electrolysis .
1831: Michael Faraday begins a series of experiments in which he discovers electromagnetic induction. The relation was mathematically modeled by Faraday's law, which subsequently becomes one of the four Maxwell equations. Faraday proposes that electromagnetic forces extended into the empty space around the conductor, but does not complete his ...
As phone lines became more popular—between 1942 and 1962, the number of phones in the U.S. grew 230% to 76 million—telephone companies realized they would run out of phone numbers.

Systematic censorship is to prevent opposition and spread the "Aryan culture".
His biography of Michael Faraday won the Pfizer Award in 1965. At that time most work in the history of science was focused on the scientific revolution of the 17th century and the 18th century spread of Newtonian philosophy; biographies of 19th century figures, other than Charles Darwin, were still rare.
The direct current (DC) supply system provided electricity supplies to street lamps and a number of private dwellings within a short distance of the station. The first investor-owned electric utility, Pearl Street Station , New York City , started generating on September 4, 1882, providing 110 volts direct current to 59 customers in lower ...
