Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday (22 September 1791 - 25 August 1867) was a famous scientist in the early 1800's. He studied electrochemistry and electromagnetism mainly. He wasn't educated formally, but he learned from his surroundings and as a worker in a laboratory. He had done many experiments, created many science concepts, discovered a few molecules, and created the invention of electromagnetic rotary devices.

No he did not. He is associated with the invention of pasteurisation. He also invented some vaccinations. Thomas Edison is generally given credit for inventing the light bulb, though others had created them before he did.

Where did Michael faraaday go to college?

Asked by Wiki User

He didn't! :)

Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday

Faraday was a naturalist, meaning scientist in those days. But he taught himself everything. He was a secretary to an aging physicist and professor who had lost most of his sight. So Faraday would transcribe the professor's works. Then he started seeing patterns in the physics and derived physical geometries for electromagnetism from intuition.

Towards the end of his professor's life, he became quite famous for his discovers and used his boss's prestige to catapult him into the right circles, where people would recognize his genious without a degree; this is very difficult of course. But, education is in the mind, not the book.

What are some facts on Michael Faraday?

Asked by Wiki User

Micheal Faraday hold the record for the most scientific experiments conducted. Now he was at the forefront of a new science and most of his experiments are extremely simple, can be conducted in a matter of minutes if not seconds. But he took the trouble to write them up and publish them so the title goes to him.

Bunsen didn't invent the Bunsen Burner. Peter Desaga did on the request from Bunsen. It was around 1855. See the referenced wiki page below for the full story

What did Michael Faraday do when he discovered that changing a magnetic field created an electric current in a wire?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In 1820 Oersted noticed that switvhing on a battery caoused a magnet needle on his compass to move. This a motor effect where electricity created magnetism. Faraday herad about this and wondered whether the reverse woyuld happen moving a magnet create electricity. Faraday in 1830 developed the homopolar generator that produced electricity from the motion of magnets.

Ballons as toys (usually pigs bladders) were in use hundreds of years before Michael Faraday.

How Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Move a magnet into a coil, and a voltage is induced into that coil, causing a galvanometer to deflect. Withdraw the magnet, and the galvanometer will deflect in the opposite direction, indicating that the induced voltage depends upon the direction of motion of the magnet.

Was Michael Faraday a pioneer scientist?

Asked by Wiki User

No, Michael Faraday did not receive the Nobel Prize. In fact, he died in 1867 almost 30 years before it was created by Alfred Nobel in 1895. Faraday, who was a pioneer of electromagnetism and chemistry, did, however, receive the Royal Medal in 1867 for his contributions to science.

Are the 20 pound notes with Michael Faraday?

Asked by Wiki User

These £20 notes featuring Michael Faraday were withdrawn from circulation in 2001. They are no longer 'legal tender' but can be changed for ones in circulation at the discretion of a bank. However, they are always payable at the Bank of England in Threadneedle St., London.

What is the importance of Michael Faraday discovery?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When Faraday began his work with electricity and magnetism, most scientists thought of them as separate (but similar) substances -- invisible fluids that could pass through matter, causing an attraction between two objects due to the "flow" of electricity (or magnetism) from one object to another.

Over the decades of his research, Faraday showed that electricity and magnetism were intimately connected (ie, one could create one by the other) and that they were better described, not as fluids, but as fields. This was a huge advance in our understanding of electromagnetism.

He probably didn't. There is no record online of this researcher ever having a middle name. So if he had a middle name, we have no way of knowing what it was.

What did Michael Faraday die from?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Michael Faraday died in Hampton Court, Surrey, England, on 25 August 1867,

at the age of 75.

75 was a quite extraordinary survival in England in 1867. There is nothing in the

published biographies on Faraday to suggest that his death was due to anything

other than old age, the slings and arrows of fortune, and the thousand maladies

to which flesh is heir.
