Michael Faraday (London, September 22nd 1791 - Hampton Court, August 25th 1867) is a physicist English.
Biography
At the 14 years age, Michael Faraday began a training of bookbinder, but during its seventh year of training it developed an interest for science. After it had sent an extract of its notes to Humphry Davy, this one took it as assistant. However, in a company controlled by the classes, he was not regarded as a gentleman.
Work and discovered
Its greater work related to electricity. In 1821, after the discovery of the phenomenon of the electromagnetism by the Danish chemist Ørsted, Faraday builds two apparatuses to produce what it called a electromagnetic rotation: the continuous circular motion of a magnetic force around a wire, makes of it the demonstration of a Electrical motor.Ten years later, in 1831, it began long series of experiments during which it discovered the electromagnetic Induction. These experiments form the base of modern electromagnetic technology. In its work on the D.C. current, Faraday showed that the load is only outside one driver charged and that this one does not have any effect on what can be located inside. This is the effect of shielding which is used in the Faraday screen room.
It was one of the principal founders of the electrochemistry as a scientific discipline. In 1833, it introduces the terms of Anode, of Cathode, Anion, Cation and Ion S (without to know the concept of Electric current later discovered by André Marie Ampère).
It gave its name to the electric unit of Capacité, the Farad, like with an electric charge, the Constante of Faraday. Its portrait is also reproduced on the tickets of 20 delivers S English.
Rewards
The mentor and sponsor of Faraday were John “Mad Jack” Fuller, which created “Fullerian Professorship” of chemistry to the Royal Institution. Faraday was the most famous first and of the holders of this station for which it was appointed for life. The Royal Society decrees to him the Médaille Copley in 1832 and 1838, and the Médaille Rumford in 1846. He is also prize winner of the Royal Medal in 1835 and 1846.Michael Faraday is buried with the Cimetière of Highgate, London, England.
Six principles of Faraday
In a work entitled the improvement of the spirit , Michael Faraday had retained six principles founders of the scientific discipline:-
To have always on oneself a small notebook in order to unceasingly take notes;
- To maintain a correspondence;
- To have collaborations in order to exchange ideas;
- To check all that one says to you;
- To avoid the controversies;
- not to generalize hastily, speak and write in the most precise way.
