Michael Faraday, inventor of the first electric motor

Michael Faraday was born in 1791 in Newington, England. Origin of the haves and the family in general is taught myself. At the age of fourteen became an apprentice carpenter and sales volumes of books, and he took the opportunity to many people read books like crazy. When he left twenty years old, visited the lectures delivered by renowned British scientist Sir Humphry Davy. Faraday was fascinated and gaping open. Davy wrote a letter to the short story and a good benefit received as his assistant. Within a few years, Faraday was able to make new discoveries about the results of their own creation. Although he had sufficient experience mathematics as a natural scientist who was not terlawankan.

Faraday's discovery of the first importance in the field of electricity occurred in 1821. Oersted two years earlier had always found that the compass needle will move if an electric current in the cable which is not far. This makes Faraday concluded, if the magnetic diketatkan, which moved only cables. Working on the basis of this claim, he managed to make a clear roadmap that continually rotating magnet wire near an electric current flowing along the wire. In fact, in this case, Faraday had discovered the first electric motor, a first outline for using an electrical current to move an object. No matter how primitive, this discovery of Faraday's "ancestors" of all electric motors used in today's world.

This is the opening of an extraordinary way. However, its practical usefulness is limited, as long as there is a method for conducting electrical current from the battery of a single chemical at a time. Faraday sure there must be a way of using magnets to move the electricity, and still looking for ways how to find the method. Today, the magnets do not move does not affect the electrical current to the side of the wire. But in 1831, Faraday discovered that when the magnet passes through a wire, current will flow in the wire while the magnet moves. This condition is called "electro-magnetic effects, and this finding is called" Faraday's Law "and is generally considered the most important discoveries of Faraday and larger.

This is a monumental discovery for two reasons. First, the "Faraday's Law" is of fundamental importance in relation to our theoretical understanding of the electro-magnetic. Second, electro magnetic can be used to drive the continuous flow of electricity, as demonstrated by Faraday's own production through the first electric dynamo. Although magnetic influence of our power generating power plants to supply the city and the factory of today is much more perfect than what was done by Faraday, but all based on similar principles of electro.

Faraday also contributes to the field of chemistry. He made a plan to change a liquid gas, was found with several types of chemicals, including benzene. Work is more important is the effort in the field of electro-chemical (chemical investigation of the effects of electric current). Faraday's research with high precision to produce two laws "Electrolysis" in reference to his name along with that is the basis of electro-chemistry. It also popularized the many terms used in the field, such as the anode, cathode, electrode and the ions.

It is also Faraday entered the world of physics of the important ideas about the magnetic lines and electric power lines. With the emphasis that was not their own magnetic field, but in the middle, which helped pave the way for progress in various fields of modern physics, including Maxwell's statement about the similarities between the two expressions through signs (=) as 2x + 5 = 10. Faraday also discovered, if the combination of two light passes through a magnetic field experience a change perpaduannya. These results have special significance because this is the first indication that a relationship exists between the light of the magnets.

Faraday not only intelligent but also beautiful and had a style as a speaker. But he just could not take the matter in terms of fame, money and adulation. He refused and was knighted also refused to become president of the British Royal Society. Live long and happy marriage, simply do not have kids. He died in 1867, near the city of London.by Michael H. Hart,One hundred most influential figures in the history.
