	Adventures in CyberSound: Faraday, Michael
		Faraday expressed the electric current induced in the wire in terms of the number of lines of force that are cut by the wire.
		Faraday's introduction of the concept of lines of force was rejected by most of the mathematical physicists of Europe, since they assumed that electric charges attract and repel one another, by action at a distance, making such lines unnecessary.
		Faraday was part of this effort and on 3 and 4 September 1821 in his basement laboratory at the Royal Institution, he undertook a set of experiments which culminated in his discovery of electro-magnetic rotation - the principle behind the electric motor.

		Faraday was one of four children, all of whom were hard put to get enough to eat, since their father was often ill and incapable of working steadily.
		Faraday saw the "lines of force" thus revealed as lines of tension in the medium, namely air, surrounding the magnet, and he soon discovered the law determining the production of electric currents by magnets: the magnitude of the current was dependent upon the number of lines of force cut by the conductor in unit time.
		Faraday took the suggestion, passed a beam of plane-polarized light through the optical glass of high refractive index that he had developed in the 1820s, and then turned on an electromagnet so that its lines of force ran parallel to the light ray.

	Michael Faraday
		Michael Faraday, the discoverer of electro-magnetic induction, electro-magnetic rotations, the magneto-optical effect, diamagnetism, field theory and much else besides, was born in Newington Butts (the area of London now known as the Elephant and Castle) on 22 September 1791.
		In 1805 at the age of fourteen Faraday was apprenticed as a bookbinder to George Riebau of Blandford Street.
		Faraday was part of this effort and on 3 and 4 September 1821 in his basement laboratory at the Royal Institution, he undertook a set of experiments which culminated in his discovery of electro-magnetic rotation - the principle behind the electric motor.

	Michael Faraday
		Faraday's important discoveries brought him considerable fame, much to the discomfort of Davy, who felt he should have shared the credit for some of the advances.
		Despite Davy's objections, Faraday was elected to the Royal Society in 1824 and was made director of the laboratory at the Royal Institute in 1825.
		After Faraday discovered, in 1831, that a changing magnetic field can induce a current, he performed a series of experiments that showed clearly that the induced EMF is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux.

		Apart from the practical significance of this discovery, it was important as Faraday's interpretation of the phenomenon indicated that he was not a Newtonian in supposing that forces had to act rectilinearly.
		Faraday also spent a considerable amount of time, especially in the early 1860s, working on various systems of electric light that were proposed.
		During this period, Faraday pursued the consequence of his discovery of electro-magnetic induction, demonstrated the identity of electricities and revised entirely the theories of electro-chemistry (in the process coining now familiar words such as electrode, cathode and ion) and the nature of electricity.

	Faraday
		He wrote a manual of practical chemistry that reveals his mastery of the technical aspects of his art, discovered a number of new organic compounds, among them benzene, and was the first to liquefy a "permanent" gas (i.e., one that was believed to be incapable of liquefaction).
		Faraday began as Davy's laboratory assistant and learned chemistry at the elbow of one of the greatest practitioners of the day.
		These experiments led directly to Faraday's two laws of electrochemistry: (1) The amount of a substance deposited on each electrode of an electrolytic cell is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity passed through the cell.

		Faraday's interests were various: he studied the condensation of gases, metallurgy, optical illusions (including diamagnetism), acoustics, and the conservation of energy.
		Faraday believed that a magnetic pole could be made to move in a circular pattern around a wire carrying electric current, and by developing a device to prove his theory, he constructed the first electric motor.
		Faraday developed a popular reputation: early in his career he served as an expert witness for his chemical expertise, and he later delivered a popular series of Christmas lectures at the Royal Institution.

	Michael Faraday - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Note that Faraday did not have a tertiary education, however Humphry Davy is considered to be the equivalent of his doctoral advisor in terms of academic mentorship.
		Faraday was a devout Christian and a member of the small Sandemanian denomination, an offshoot of the Church of Scotland.
		Faraday worked extensively in the field of chemistry, discovering chemical substances such as benzene (which he called bicarburet of hydrogen), inventing the system of oxidation numbers, and liquefying gases such as chlorine.

		Michael Faraday was born in the village of Newington, Sussex, England, on Thursday, 22 September 1791.

	Maxwell & Faraday
		Faraday was the son of a flsmith who could do little more than provide the bare necessities of life to his wife aid many children.
		Faraday at once repeated Oersted's experiments, and he noted that when a small magnetic needle was moved around a wire carrying a current, one of the poles turned in a circle.
		Maxwell's mathematical treatment of Faraday's lines of force led to the conclusion that the speed v of an advancing electromagnetic field was given by v =1/(o µo) Measurements made by various physicists of µo and o also led to the result that v obtained in this way was the speed of light.

	Inventor Michael Faraday
		Faraday was elected to the Royal Society in 1824 and the following year was appointed director of the laboratory of the Royal Institution.
		Faraday was the recipient of many scientific honors, including the Royal and Rumford medals of the Royal Society; he was also offered the presidency of the society but declined the honor.
		In experimenting with magnetism, Faraday made two discoveries of great importance; one was the existence of diamagnetism, and the other was the fact that a magnetic field has the power to rotate the plane of polarized light passing through certain types of glass.

		But Faraday is most famous for his contributions to the understanding of electricity and electrochemistry.
		Faraday suffered a nervous breakdown in 1839 but eventually returned to his electromagnetic investigations—this time on the relationship between light and magnetism.
		Although Faraday was unable to express his theories in mathematical terms, his ideas formed the basis for the electromagnetic equations that James Clerk Maxwell developed in the 1850s and 1860s.

	Michael Faraday: The Invention of Faraday Cage (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Another explanation for the Faraday cage effect can be derived from Gauss's law that states that if there is no charge in a closed surface then the net flow of electric field from the surface must be zero.
		To demonstrate his ideas, Faraday built in 1836 a room (the Faraday cage), coated with metal foil, and allowed high-voltage discharges from an electrostatic generator to strike the outside of the room.
		The Faraday cage can be used to prevent the passage of electromagnetic waves and electric fields, either containing them in or excluding them from its interior space.

	Michael Faraday (1791-1867)
		Similarly, because a magnetic pole tends to move in a circle around a current-carrying wire, Faraday argued that both electricity and magnetism occurred as a result of movements in a medium, rather than as a result of changes in currents and magnets.
		Using this subtle distinction, Faraday displaced the efficient cause of electromagnetic force from currents and magnets to the medium between them, from which followed the insight that currents take time to propagate through a medium.
		Faraday saw a medium where they saw nothing but distance: Faraday sought the seat of the phenomena in real actions going on in the medium, they were satisfied that they had found it in a power of action at a distance impressed on the electric fluids."
