inventor of the electric

IN terms of electricity, there are many figures who have participated. Call it de Coulomb, Alessandro Volta, Hans C. Cersted, and Andre Marie Ampere. They are considered "good-good" best in the field of electricity. However, of all that, one should not forget the name of a very meritorious and is known as a pioneer in electricity and magnetism. He is Michael Faraday, a British scientist .

Michael Faraday was born on 22 September 1791 in Newington Butts, England. His parents belong to poor families. His father was a blacksmith who only have to feed ten children. No wonder if his father could not afford their children's schooling is no exception with Faraday. To help the family economy, at the age of 14 years Faraday worked as a bookbinder as well as booksellers. In between his work he utilized to read different types of books, especially science, physics, and chemistry.
When he was stepping 20 years, he attended lectures given by renowned British scientist. One of them was Sir Humphry Davy, a chemist who is also head of the Royal Institution's laboratory. During the lectures, Faraday made careful notes and copy them back neatly what he heard. Then, the file notes that he sent a job application accompanied by Humphry Davy. Apparently the professor was interested and raised Faraday as his assistant at the University Laboratory in London. At the age of 21 years.
Under the guidance of Davy, Faraday demonstrated rapid progress. Initially, he only worked as a bottle washer. But, thanks to his perseverance in learning, just in a relatively short time, he can make new discoveries of his own creation, which is found two compounds klorokarbon and succeeded in liquefying chlorine and other gases. Thanks kepandainnya Similarly, Faraday may be associated with renowned experts, such as Andre Marie Ampere. In addition, he also got a chance touring Europe with Davy. On that occasion, Faraday began to build a practical and theoretical knowledge.
Davy has a great influence on Faraday's thinking and has led Faraday to his discoveries. Faraday's first important discovery in the field of electricity occurred in 1821. Oersted two years earlier had found that a magnetic compass needle can be moved if the normal electric current flowed in the wire are not far apart. From these findings, Faraday concluded, if the magnetic diketatkan, moving just wires. Working on the basis of these allegations, he managed to make a clear scheme where the wire will continually rotating adjacent to the magnet along the electrical power is applied to the wire.
Indeed, in this case the Faraday had discovered the first electric motor, a first scheme the use of electric current to create something moving objects. No matter how primitive, Faraday's discovery is "ancestor" of all electric motors are used the world today. Since the first discovery in 1821, the scientist Michael Faraday was his name became famous autodidact. Findings are considered as a pacesetter in the field of electricity.
Faraday's Law
In experiments done in 1831, he found that when a magnet passed a piece of wire, current will flow in the wire, while the magnet moves. This situation is called "electromagnetic effect" and the invention is called "Faraday's Law". The discovery is considered a monumental discovery. Why? First, "Faraday's Law" has significance in relation to our theoretical understanding of electromagnetic. Secondly, electromagnetic propulsion can be used as a continuous flow of electricity as used by Faraday in the manufacture of the first electric dynamo.
With a variety of findings, not an overstatement if Faraday is one figure who has contributed the greatest of mankind. He was a humble, an inventor who started learning autodidact. Simplicity he showed when he refused to be knighted and also refused to be president of the British Royal Society. Due to health problems, Michael Faraday stop researching. But, he continued as a lecturer until 1861. He died on 25 August 1867 and was buried near the city of London, England.
