Scientific biography of Faradei

Register Michael Faraday Faraday, Michael -, an English physicist. Born on September 22 on the outskirts of London in the family of a blacksmith. From the age of 12 he worked as a pedagogue of newspapers, then a student in a binding workshop. He was engaged in self -education, read books on chemistry and electricity. In one of the customers, Faraday was presented with invitation tickets at the lecture by G.

Davy at the Royal Institute, who played a decisive role in the fate of Faradey. Thanks to Davy, he got the assistant in the Royal Association. In - traveling along with Davy in Europe, Faraday visited the laboratories of a number of countries.

Davy helped in chemical experiments, began independent research on chemistry. He was revived at gas, received a benzene. In the first time, he watched the rotation of the magnet around the conductor with current and the conductor with current around the magnet, created the first model of the electric motor. Over the next 10 years, he was engaged in the study of the connection between electric and magnetic phenomena, in opening electromagnetic induction that underlies the work of all DC electric generators.

He was elected a member of the Royal Society in Faraday, and became the director of the laboratory at the Royal Association. With a Fuller professor of chemistry of the Royal Institute, he left this post in widely known public lectures of Faradey. Using a huge experimental material, the pharasses proved the identity of the then “types” of electricity known then: “animal”, “magnetic”, thermoelectricity, galvanic electricity, etc.

The desire to identify the nature of electric current led him to experiments on the passage of current through solutions of acids, salts and alkalis. The result of research was the discovery of the laws of Faraday in the laws of electrolysis. In Faraday, he discovered the phenomenon of rotation of the plane of polarization of light in the magnetic field of the Faraday effect. In the same year, he discovered diamagnetism, in - paramagneism.

Introduced a number of concepts - mobility, cathode, anode, ions, electrolysis, electrodes; Invented a voltmeter in the X years proposed the concept of a field, for the first time he used the term “magnetic field”, and formulated the concept of the field. The main works on electricity and magnetism of the pharapee represented the Royal Society in the form of a series of reports called experimental studies on EXPERIMENTAL ResEARCHES in Electricity.

Faraday died in Hampton-Cort on August 25
