PRESENTATION OUTLINE
Michael Faraday:
September 22, 1791-August 25,1867
English scientist who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.
What he discovered:
His main discoveries include those of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.
What he discovered:
It was by his research on the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a direct current that he established the basis for the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics.
He also established:
That magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena.
Discoveries:
Faraday's inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became practical for use in technology.
His struggles:
Faraday was forced to fill the role of valet as well as assistant throughout the trip. Davy's wife, Jane Apreece, refused to treat Faraday as an equal, and made Faraday so miserable that he contemplated returning to England alone and giving up science altogether.
