FARADAY
Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a
DC electric current. While conducting these studies, Faraday established the
basis for the electromagnetic field concept in physics, subsequently enlarged
upon by James Maxwell. He similarly discovered electromagnetic induction,
diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established that magnetism could
affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the
two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the
foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts
that electricity became viable for use in technology.
As a chemist, Michael Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the
clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and
the system of oxidation numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode,
cathode, electrode, and ion.
Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little
of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential
scientists in history. Historians of science refer to him as the best
experimentalist in the history of science. The SI unit of capacitance, the
farad, is named after him, as is the Faraday constant, the charge on a mole of
electrons (about 96,485 coulombs). Faraday’s law of induction states that
magnetic flux changing in time creates a proportional electromotive force.
Faraday was the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of
Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a position to which he was
appointed for life.
Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Faraday on his study wall
alongside pictures of Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell.
Faraday was highly religious. He was a member of the Sandemanian
Church, a Christian sect founded in 1730 that demanded total faith and
commitment. Biographers have noted that a strong sense of the unity of God and
nature pervaded Faraday’s life and work.
