    Extractions: Faraday Follows in Franklin's Footsteps Following in the footsteps of Ben Franklin and other early scientists, Michael Faraday studied the nature of electricity. Born on September 22, 1791, this famous English physicist and chemist is best remembered for his understanding of electromagnetism. Once Faraday discovered that electricity could be made by moving a magnet inside a wire coil, he was able to build the first electric motor. He later built the first generator and transformer. He introduced several words that we still use today to discuss electricity: ion, electrode, cathode, and anode. Faraday is also remembered for his contributions to the study of chemistry. Most noteworthy was his discovery of benzene, a common carbon compound. Later in life, Faraday became Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution. He was a powerful speaker and his lectures were popular. Every year on Christmas Day, he presented his Faraday Lectures for Children which were crowded with interested listeners. To honor his accomplishments, a unit of electricity was named after him. The "farad" measures capacitance, an amount of electrical charge. Faraday lived his whole life in England, where he died on August 25, 1867. Back to Scientist

    Extractions: English bookbinder who became interested in electricity He obtained an assistantship in Davy's lab, then began to conduct his own experiments. He wrote a review article on current views about electricity and magnetism in 1821, for which he reproduced Oersted's experiment. He was one of the greatest experimenters ever. Because he was self trained, however, he had no grasp of mathematics and could therefore not understand a word of papers. In the course of his experiments, Faraday discovered that a suspended magnet would revolve around a current bearing wire, leading him to propose that magnetism was a circular force. He also discovered magnetic optical rotation, invented the dynamo (a device capable of converting electricity to motion) in 1821, discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831, and devised the laws of chemical electrodeposition of metals from solutions in 1857. He formulated the second law of electrolysis: "the amounts of bodies which are equivalent to each other in their ordinary chemical action have equal quantities of electricity naturally associated with them." He published many of his results in the three-volume Experimental Researches in Electricity (1839-1855). One of his most important contributions to physics was his development of the concept of a field to describe magnetic and electric forces in 1845. He first suggested that current produces a electric "tension" which produced an "electrotonic state," or polarization of matter molecules, and was responsible for transmitting the electric force. He experimented with dielectrics in a

    Extractions: Fascinating facts about Michael Faraday inventor of the electric motor, the dynamo, the transformer, and the generator. Faraday, Michael (1791-1867), British physicist and chemist, best known for his discoveries of electromagnetic induction and of the laws of electrolysis. Faraday was born on September 22, 1791, in Newington, Surrey, England. He was the son of a blacksmith and received little formal education. While apprenticed to a bookbinder in London Faraday's earliest researches were in the field of chemistry, following the lead of Davy. A study of chlorine, which Faraday included in his researches, led to the discovery of two new chlorides of carbon. He also discovered benzene. Faraday investigated a number of new varieties of optical glass. In a series of experiments he was successful in liquefying a number of common gases. In experimenting with magnetism, Faraday made two discoveries of great importance; one was the existence of diamagnetism, and the other was the fact that a magnetic field has the power to rotate the plane of polarized light passing through certain types of glass.

    Extractions: The Chemical History of A Candle, 1860 Introductory Note It was characteristic of Faraday's devotion to the enlargement of the bounds of human knowledge that on his discovery of magneto-electricity he abandoned the commercial work by which he had added to his small salary, in order to reserve all his energies for research. This financial loss was in part made up later by a pension of 300 pounds a year from the British Government. Faraday's parents were members of the obscure religious denomination of the Sandemanians, and Faraday himself, shortly after his marriage, at the age of thirty, joined the same sect, to which he adhered till his death. Religion and science he kept strictly apart, believing that the data of science were of an entirely different nature from the direct communications between God and the soul on which his religious faith was based. The discoveries made by Faraday were so numerous, and often demand so detailed a knowledge of chemistry and physics before they can be understood, that it is impossible to attempt to describe or even enumerate them here. Among the most important are the discovery of magneto-electric induction, of the law of electro-chemical decomposition, of the magnetization of light, and of diamagnetism. Round each of these are grouped numbers of derivative but still highly important additions to scientific knowledge, and together they form so vast an achievement as to lead his successor, Tyndall, to say, "Taking him for all and all, I think it will be conceded that Michael Faraday was the greatest experimental philosopher the world has ever seen; and I will add the opinion, that the progress of future research will tend, not to dim or to diminish, but to enhance and glorify the labours of this mighty investigator."

    Extractions: Send it to a friend! Michael Faraday was born on the 22nd September 1791, in Newington Butts, near London. His father, James, a blacksmith originated from Clapham, Yorkshire but moved to the city after marrying Faraday's mother, Margaret Hastwell, in 1786. Faraday apparently received no formal education. Instead, he worked as an errand boy for a bookbinder called Riebau. In 1804, aged 13, he was promoted to apprentice where he remained for 8 years. He found new work with another bookbinder called De La Roche. Throughout this time the books he worked with inspired an interest in science. An interest that was to initiate a life changing series of events. After a year of hard graft, Faraday was invited to accompany Davy and his wife on a European tour. Since the Napoleonic Wars were still in progress this required seeking a special dispensation from Napoleon. Pro-science, Napoleon agreed. In the autumn of 1813, travelling as Davy's amanuensis, Faraday set off on a trip that was to last 18 months. Though Davy's wife frequently treated Faraday like a servant, the trip proved to be an invaluable experience for the rising physicist. Travelling through France, Switzerland, Italy and Belgium, he met a large number of influential scientists, many of whom were to provide an important educational role in his life. It was also in Paris that Davy, with Faraday's help, discovered iodine from burnt seaweed.

Granville Woods had prolific inventive skills and made ingenious contributions to mass transit. Woods patented a telephone transmitter in 1885, which was bought by Bell Telephone. He then founded the Woods Electric Company in New York City, which manufactured and sold telephone, telegraph, and electrical instruments. His most important invention was the induction telegraph system in 1887, a method of informing an engineer of trains immediately in front of and behind him, thus ensuring safer rail travel. Of the more than 60 patents that Woods registered, the majority were concerned with railroad telegraphs, electrical brakes, and electrical railway systems. Next: Electric Vehicles

    Extractions: Michael Faraday did not directly contribute to mathematics so should not really qualify to have his biography in this archive. However he was such a major figure and his science had such a large impact on the work of those developing mathematical theories that it is proper that he is included. We say more about this below. Faraday's father, James Faraday, was a blacksmith who came from Yorkshire in the north of England while his mother Margaret Hastwell, also from the north of England, was the daughter of a farmer. Early in 1791 James and Margaret moved to Newington Butts, which was then a village outside London, where James hoped that work was more plentiful. They already had two children, a boy Robert and a girl, before they moved to Newington Butts and Michael was born only a few months after their move. Work was not easy to find and the family moved again, remaining in or around London. By 1795, when Michael was around five years, the family were living in Jacob's Wells Mews in London. They had rooms over a coachhouse and, by this time, a second daughter had been born. Times were hard particularly since Michael's father had poor health and was not able to provide much for his family.

    Extractions: Brief Biography Michael Faraday, the discoverer of electro-magnetic induction, electro-magnetic rotations, the magneto-optical effect, diamagnetism, field theory and much else besides, was born in Newington Butts (the area of London now known as the Elephant and Castle) on 22 September 1791. His father, James, was a blacksmith and a member of the Sandemanian sect of Christianity. James Faraday had come to London in the late 1780s from North-West England. Very little is known of the first few years of Faraday's life. In an autobiographical note Faraday recalled that he had attended a day school and had learnt the "rudiments of reading, writing, and arithmetic". In 1805 at the age of fourteen Faraday was apprenticed as a bookbinder to George Riebau of Blandford Street. During his seven year apprenticeship Faraday developed his interest in science and in particular chemistry. He read Jane Marcet's Conversations on Chemistry and the scientific entries from the Encyclopedia Britannica. He was also able to perform chemical experiments and he built his own electro-static machine. But, more importantly, Faraday joined the City Philosophical Society in 1810. In this society, which was devoted to self-improvement, a group of (youngish) men and women met every week to hear lectures on scientific topics and to discuss scientific matters. It was here that Faraday would give his first scientific lectures.

    Extractions: Michael Faraday , the son of a blacksmith, was born in London in 1791. He was apprenticed to a bookbinder and this contact with books gave him a love of reading. After becoming interested in science, Faraday applied to Humphry Davy for a job. In 1813 Faraday became his temporary assistant and spent the next 18 months touring Europe while during Davy's investigations into his theory of volcanic action. Davy gave Faraday a valuable scientific education and also introduced him to important scientists in Europe. After Humphry Davy retired in 1827, Faraday replaced him as professor of chemistry at the Royal Institution. Faraday began to publish details of his research including condensation of gases, optical deceptions and the isolation of benzene from gas oils.

    Extractions: Michael Faraday : 1791 -1867 Michael Faraday's scientific work laid the foundations of all subsequent electro-technology. From his experiments came devices which led directly to the modern electric motor, generator and transformer. Faraday was also the greatest scientific lecturer of his day, who did much to publicise the great advances of nineteenth-century science and technology through his articles, correspondence and the Friday evening discourses which he established at the Royal Institution. The Royal Institution Christmas lectures for children, begun by Faraday, continue to this day. Michael Faraday was born on 22nd September 1791. At the age of fourteen he was apprenticed to a London bookbinder. Reading many of the books in the shop, Faraday became fascinated by science, and wrote to Sir Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution asking for a job. On 1st March 1813, he was appointed laboratory assistant at the Royal Institution. There Faraday immersed himself in the study of chemistry, becoming a skilled analytical chemist. In 1823 he discovered that chlorine could be liquefied and in 1825 he discovered a new substance known today as benzene. However, his greatest work was with electricity. In 1821, soon after the Danish chemist

    Extractions: @import url(../css/3col-main.css); The bicentennial anniversary of Michael Faraday's birth was marked by a remarkable series of celebrations. In March 1991, he was honoured with a commemorative postage stamp and a special First-day cover. Later that year, his portrait and signature replaced William Shakespeare on our 20 pound notes. The Science Museum, the Royal Institution and the National Portrait Gallery all held special exhibitions to look back on his life and work. A special memorial service was held in Westminster Abbey. Numerous books, magazine articles and television programmes brought him to the attention of the public. Clearly, Faraday is highly regarded and his contributions to our society have been outstanding. Physicists and chemists alike look back on Faraday as a worthy pioneer, although his achievements in physics are the best known. He formulated the laws of electromagnetic induction and did the groundwork necessary to make dynamos, electric motors and transformers. It was Faraday who devised the laws of electrolysis and laid the foundation for the electroplating industry. Faraday has the international unit for capacitance named after him, the Farad, marking his distinguished work with dielectrics; and also a physical constant, the Faraday Constant. He developed the concept of magnetic and electrical fields, and also showed that the electrical phenomena exhibited by lightning, electric eels and voltaic cells are all related. The
