Michael Faraday “Nothing is too wonderful to be true if it be consistent with the laws of nature.” - Michael Faraday. According to English UPenn edu: Michael Faraday was a English scientist and had studied electrochemistry and electromagnetism. According to“https://www.famousscientist.org/micheal-faraday” said Michael would read books from cover to cover, even those he wanted to learn more about science and the world around him. He would go buy books to study science, with very little bit of money that he had. To me, Michael was very inspiring as well, and always wanted to head and look for success. Also he was one of the best scientist still. Because, well pretty much because

Michael Faraday studied electromagnetism and electrochemistry. “No matter what you look at, if you look at it closely enough, you are involved in the entire universe.” Stated by Michael Faraday. In 1821 Michael Faraday started trying to understand the work of Oersted which is a unit in a auxiliary magnetic field and Ampere which is a type of unit of charge, like a battery, then he created his own type of experiment using a small mercury bath, (see Appendix, figure 1, and 2). Michael is mostly famous for his electric motor, in September 1831, Michael Faraday founded magneto-electric induction which is production of steady electric current.”In place of practicing of self-abnegation, we ever make the wish the father to thought we receive as friendly that which agrees with, we resist with dislike that which opposes us whereas the very reverse is required by every dictate of common sense.” Said by Michael Faraday. So what he had done to do this was attach two wires through a sliding contact to a copper disc. By moving the disc between the two poles of a horseshoe magnet, he turned out to create ongoing direct current, this turned out to be the first generator. From these experiments came things that had led up to the modern electric motor. Michael practiced all of his experiments in his basement which sounds pretty lonely but he got lots of work done. The reason why he had accomplished so much was because he stuck to what he believed he

He had discovered that if a magnet was quickly moved in and out and around the wire, a current was made in the coil. The current also had flowed if the loop was moved over a stationary magnet. Faraday’s experiments realized that a changing magnetic field produces an electric field haha. Maxwell–Faraday equation really does plays a pretty big role in classical electromagnetism. It is a originally of Faraday’s law of induction, shows how the magnetic field will react with an electric circuit to make a electric phenomenon soo yeah. Faraday’s law is the basic operating principle of transformers, inductors, and many types of electrical
