A Short Biography On MICHAEL FARADAY
MICHAEL FARADAY was an English Scientist born on 22 September 1791 at NEWINGTON BUTTS.. As a son of a blacksmith he couldn't continue further study rather than primary..
MICHAEL FARADAY
He started his occupation as a book binder under his master... But from his craving of knowledge, he started to read every book passed through his hands.. he had developed an interest in scientific research.. Once a master, praised by his bind work handed him a ticket to attend a lecture of SIR HUMPHREY DAVY in 1812..This lecture changed the mode of FARADAY'S life.. FARADAY presented an a binded book of his lecture to SIR HUMPHREY DAVY.. This brought DAVY'S attention to him.. While DAVY was recovering from laboratory accidents, he appointed FARADAY as a laboratory assistant.. This brought FARADAY to the original scientific world..
SIR HUMPHREY DAVY
In 1821 soon after HANS CHRISTIAN ØRSTED discovered phonomones of ELECTROMAGNETISM the European scientific community started to make attempts to explain the Phenomena.. The biggest mystery of the day was How something flows like any liquid through the wire can effect an outside object.. FARADAY proposed a RADICAL IDEA.. He said that maybe electric current is emitting some kind of invisible force line outside as it moves through the wire which was making the compass needle to move.. Later he proved experimentally that Electricity and Magnetism both emits same kind of field lines.. He called the phenomena ELECTROMAGNETISM..
EXPERIMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETIC INDUCTION
JAMES CLERK MAXWELL
. MAXWELL HEAVISIDE EQUATIONS
HEINRICH HERTZ
As a chemist he also discovered BENZENE,
investigated the CLATHRATE HYDRATE of CHLORINE invented an early form of the BUNSEN BURNER and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularised terminology such as "ANODE", "CATHODE", "ELECTRODE" and "ION". Faraday ultimately became the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the ROYAL INSTITUTION , a lifetime position.
He recieved AwardsRoyal Medal (1835 and 1846)
Copley Medal (1832 and 1838)
Rumford Medal (1846)
Albert Medal (1866).. He was elected as the lifetime fellow of ROYAL INSTITUTION for his lifetime achievements..
Faraday died at his house at HAMPTON COURT on 25 AUGUST 1867, aged 75..He had some years before turned down an offer of burial in WESTMINSTER ABBEY upon his death, but he has a memorial plaque there, near ISAAC NEWTON'S tomb..Faraday was interred in the dissenters' (non-Anglican) section of Highgate Cemetery.

EXPERIMENT OF ELECTROMAGNETISM
FARADAY'S MODEL OF DYNAMO
Later he invented Electric Motor, Dynamo and many other things based his idea.. This was considered as the experiment of the 19th century.. which laid the foundation of modern technologies..
Later he realized that Electricity and Magnetism both are same thing uniformly called as ELECTROMAGNETISM.. In his subsequent experiments, he found that if he moved a magnet through a loop of wire an electric current flowed in that wire. The current also flowed if the loop was moved over a stationary magnet. His demonstrations established that a changing magnetic field produces an electric field; this relation was modelled mathematically by JAMES CLERK MAXWELL as Faraday's law, which subsequently became one of the four Maxwell equations, and which have in turn evolved into the generalization known today as field theory... He also claimed that light is just an oscillation in the electromagnetic field and later it was proved mathematically by MAXWELL and experimentally by HEINRICH HERTZ..

AlBERT EINSTEIN used to keep three photos in his study, these were of ISAAC NEWTON, MICHAEL FARADAY, JAMES CLERK MAXWELL..
