    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Faraday

    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.

    The discovery of electromagnetic induction was made almost simultaneously, although independently, by Michael Faraday, who was first to make the discovery in 1831, and Joseph Henry in 1832. [ 77 ] [ 78 ] Henry's discovery of self-induction and his work on spiral conductors using a copper coil were made public in 1835, just before those of Faraday.

  4. An Elementary Treatise on Electricity - Wikipedia

    The book is not merely a re-statement of some parts of A Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism.Maxwell notes that. In the larger treatise I sometimes made use of methods which I do not think the best in themselves, but without which the student cannot follow the investigations of the founders of the Mathematical Theory of Electricity.

    English physicist Michael Faraday published the law of induction (Joseph Henry developed the same law independently). 1831: American scientist Joseph Henry in the United States developed a prototype DC motor. 1832: French instrument maker Hippolyte Pixii in France developed a prototype DC generator. 1833: Michael Faraday developed the laws of ...

    The Chemical History of a Candle was the title of a series of six lectures on the chemistry and physics of flames given by Michael Faraday at the Royal Institution in 1848, as part of the series of Christmas lectures for young people founded by Faraday in 1825 and still given there every year.

  7. 1831 – Michael Faraday began experiments leading to his discovery of the law of electromagnetic induction, though the discovery may have been anticipated by the work of Francesco Zantedeschi. His breakthrough came when he wrapped two insulated coils of wire around a massive iron ring, bolted to a chair, and found that upon passing a current ...

    Michael Faraday developed the concept of lines of force to describe electric and magnetic phenomena. [13] In 1831, he writes [13] By magnetic curves, I mean the lines of magnetic forces, however modified by the juxtaposition of poles, which would be depicted by iron filings; or those to ·which a very small magnetic needle would form a tangent."

  9. Introduction to electromagnetism - Wikipedia

    Michael Faraday discovered the converse, that magnetism could induce electric currents, and James Clerk Maxwell put the whole thing together in a unified theory of electromagnetism. Maxwell's equations further indicated that electromagnetic waves existed, and the experiments of Heinrich Hertz confirmed this, making radio possible.
