  Faraday   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
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.

 The Free Information Society - Michael Faraday Biography
Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791 in the town of Newington, England.
Faraday also began giving lectures at the institution and he became well known for the excitement he generated.
Faraday is remembered today as one of the greatest experimental and theoretical scientists of all time.

 The Royal Institution of Great Britain
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's correspondence with Trinity House illustrate the crucial role which Faraday played in the development of the lighthouse service in the middle third of the nineteenth century.

 Michael Faraday
In a class-based society, Faraday was not considered a gentleman; it has been said that Davy's wife, Jane Apreece, refused to treat him as an equal and, when on a continental tour, made Faraday sit with the servants.
Faraday, having discussed the problem with the two men, went on to build two devices to produce what he called electromagnetic rotation: a continuous circular motion from the circular magnetic force around a wire.
Faraday was also devoutly religious and a member of the small Sandemanian denomination, an offshoot of the Church of Scotland.

 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.

 Faraday, Michael - HighBeam Encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Faraday was made a member of the institution in 1823 and a fellow of the Royal Society in 1824.
Faraday's experiments yielded some of the most significant principles and inventions in scientific history.
He developed the first dynamo (in the form of a copper disk rotated between the poles of a permanent magnet), the precursor of modern dynamos and generators.

 Faraday Society - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Faraday Society was a British society for the study of physical chemistry, founded in 1903 and named in honour of Michael Faraday.
It merged with several similar organisations in 1980 to form the Royal Society of Chemistry.

 timelinescience - Michael Faraday (trouble at the top) - resources
Faraday himself had little interest in the proactical applications of his discoveries, yet his patient, meticulous approach to his work marked him out as a true laboratory based scientist of the highest calibre.
But Faraday knew that the issue of Wollaston and the electric motor still rankled with Sir Humphrey Davy - who just happened to be president of the Royal Society.
As Faraday's star was on the rise, so Davy's was beginning to fade - in fact Davy was probably jealous of the impact Faraday was making.

 Science in Christian Perspective
Faraday's education was at best rudimentary, and at 13 he was forced to take a job as a delivery boy for a bookseller.
Faraday, the great man of science, was also a devoutly religious man and a member of an obscure, small religious group, known as the Glasites or Sandemanians.
Faraday's religion was indeed, the very core and centre of the man, filling his whole life with power and peace, and embodying itself in all his actions.

At school the young Faraday only learned the rudiments of reading writing and arithmetic, and then at the age of fourteen in 1805, he was apprenticed to George Reibau as a bookbinder.
Faraday took an interest in Oersteds discovery because at this time, electricity was considered to be allied to chemistry.
After this Faraday returned to his chemical researches and it would not be for another ten years that he would make any further contributions to electrical science.

NOTE: According to the title pages freely available at the Royal Society of Chemistry website, the title was actually Journal of the Chemical Society of London from Vol.15 (1862) to vol.23 (1870), and its title was shortened to Journal of the Chemical Society only beginning with vol.24 (1871).
According to the record in the Zeitschriftendatenbank (ZDB), for 1.1885 - 5.1889, the title was Abstracts of the Proceedings of the Chemical Society of London.
This title was published jointly by the Chemical Society and the Royal Institute of Chemistry, and later by the Royal Society of Chemistry (formed through the merger of the two mentioned societies and two others in 1980).
