Faraday
It is not my intention to lay before you a life of Faraday in the ordinary accepting of the term. The duty I have to perform is to give you some notion of what he has done in the world; dwelling incidentally on the spirit in which his work was executed, and introducing such personal traits as may be necessary to the completion of your picture of the philosopher, though by no means adequate to give you a complete idea of the man. Michael Faraday was born at Newington Butts, on September 22, 1791, and he died at Hampton Court, on August 25, 1867. When thirteen years old, that is to say in 1804, Faraday was apprenticed to a bookseller and bookbinder where he spent eight years of his life, after which he worked as a

At this time he was acquiring, not producing; working hard for his master and storing and strengthening his own mind. He assisted Mr. Brande in his lectures, and so quietly, skillfully, and modestly was his work done, that Mr. Brande's vocation at the time was pronounced 'lecturing on velvet.' In 1820 Faraday published a chemical paper 'on two new compounds of chlorine and carbon, and on a new compound of iodine, carbon, and hydrogen.' This paper was read before the Royal Society on December 21, 1820, and it was the first of his that was honored with a place in the 'Philosophical Transactions.' On June 12, 1821, he married, and obtained leave to bring his young wife into his rooms at the Royal Institution. There for forty-six years they lived together, occupying the suite of apartments which had been previously in the successive occupancy of Young, Davy, and Brande. At the time of her marriage Mrs. Faraday was twenty-one years of age, he being nearly thirty. Oersted, in 1820, discovered the action of a voltaic current on a magnetic needle; and immediately afterwards the splendid intellect of Ampere succeeded in showing that every magnetic phenomenon then known might be reduced to the mutual action of electric currents. This attracted Faraday's attention to the subject. He read much about it; and in the months of July, August, and September he wrote a 'history of the progress of electromagnetism,' which he published in Thomson's
William gilbert was an astronomer, English physician, and a physicist. Also know as the”father of electricity”. His parents were Hierome Gilbert and Jerome Gilbert. He had four books published in his lifetime which one of them were about how he did his experiments and all of his findings about the earth and its magnetic forces. William Gilbert was born May 24, 1544 in Colchester, England. He went to St John’s college and Cambridge University he later gained a MD from the St John’s college, Cambridge. He left from there and went to London to practice medicine.He spent is life in Pinner, London.He published a book in the 1600’s showing all of his work and experiments on how the earth was magnetic.He described his experiments with his model earth
Against this view, according to Michael Faraday’s force field theory, the collection of energy is prevenient and essential to the formation of matter. Accordingly, this theory claim can serve as a point of contact between the theory of the time-space-energy field and Pannenberg’s theological concept of the Spirit’s creative immanence in the cosmos. That is, Pannenberg understands that the biblical concept of the Spirit as comparable to the Stoic notion of the all-embracing pneuma, rather than Platonic notion of nous or “the cosmic reason that absorbs human reason.” Also, the development of the force field theory was inspired by the Stoic notion of pneuma. Hence, This theory “helps to understand the theological idea of a dynamic presence of the divine Spirit in all events.” It seems to me that, based on this discourse, we can affirm with Pannenberg that it is not impossible to locate the immanence of God as the life-giving source of all creatures. The Spirit is working in creation as “the vitalizing principle, the lure to self-transcendence, and as the inspirational power of ecstasy.”
for a year before William finally asked her to marry him. They were married on June 19th in
People such as Benjamin Franklin, Eli Whitney, and Samuel F.B. Morse have made life changing moments in history. Franklin introduce the idea of electricity, with his more commonly known experiment the key and kite. Though Franklin only established a connection with lightning and electricity, it lead to greater discoveries. Such as the controversy, Tesla versus Edison, and alternating currents(AC) versus direct currents(DC). With all invention there is the common theme of aiding civilization; to make diffucult tasks simpler, but we can't always predict the outcomes.
Benjamin Franklin has done many things in his life. He started by working in print shops in Philadelphia but didn’t have great success so he moved to London. In London he worked as a typesetter. He went back to Philadelphia in 1726 to be an employee of Thomas Denham. Franklin began to take care of his business. In 1730, Franklin got married to Deborah Reed. Together they had two
Then in 1870 his first discovers were published in heat and gases. He then discovered the phenomenon of the ability to occupy less space of water by the spreading of oil drops on water. When he accidentally placed a piece of fluorescent mineral covered cardboard near his experimental set he noticed when the cathode ray was turned on the cardboard started to glow in the dark. He then intentionally did an experiment on this miraculous discovery.
Who is Michael Faraday ? Faraday’s early life He was born on 22 September 1791 in Newington Butts into a poor family , of which he was the third of four children . His father James , was a blacksmith who had left his own smithy in Outhgill Stephen in 1791 to work in London he died in 1809 . Michael’s mother, Margaret Hastwell , was the mainstay of the family She died in 1838 . There are no sources for Faraday’s early years, so it is impossible to say what effects they had on him .
Once the paint dries, attach a magnet, hang it inside your locker door, and you’ll never forget to bring a pen to class again.
“it's not a dream, its a simple feat of scientific electrical engineering, only expensive, blind, faint-hearted, doubting world”. The Tesla coil was invented by a Serbian man named Nikola Tesla. 1896, that was the year that tesla coils were created. Tesla created this because he wanted a wireless world.
Franklin published his theories in a book titled "Experiments and Observations on Electricity Made at Philadelphia". It became a best seller in Europe as well as in the colonies. The main topic of this book was Franklin's theory that lightning was electrical energy. This was not a new idea, but Benjamin Franklin was the first to perform an experiment on it. He said that if a metal rod was to be placed on top of a tower or a tall building, it would be struck by lightning and hold an electrical charge. Many scientists in Europe tried this experiment, and some had successful results. When a French scientist, De Lor, attempted to repeat one of the proposed experiments from the book a huge crowd of curious people had gathered in Paris to see it.
In the 1780s, galvanism was unintentionally discovered by Luigi Galvani while he was doing experiments in animal physiology. Galvanism is an electric current made when two metals and a moist environment come into contact. Hans Christian Oersted made a discovery that a magnetized needle could be moved by an electric current. This was an important step toward the telegraph- by varying the current with electromagnets, a message could be sent through a wire! William
Nikola Tesla was born in Smiljan, Croatia at midnight between July 9th and 10th 1856. He was intelligent since his early childhood. He soon became interested in engineering and he studied it at the Technical University in Graz, Austria, from 1877 to 1880. Right after that he went to the University of Prague in 1880, but his father had died and he withdrew his studies from the University soon after. Tesla always dreamed of becoming an electrical engineer and to invent a new type of power transmission instead of Direct Current (DC). He mourned for his father for about a year, but he had to return to his work. In 1881 he went to Budapest to work as an engineer for a telephone company, but this isn't what he wanted to in life. Tesla's
Nikola Tesla is regarded as one of the most brilliant inventors in history. His work provided the basis for the modern alternating current power system, as well as having developed both radio and the fluorescent light bulb. He worked with Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, among others. He was also widely misunderstood by his peers and the public at large.
Originally electricity and magnetism were thought of as two separate forces. This view changed, however, with the publication of James Clerk Maxwell's 1873Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism in which the interactions of positive and negative charges were shown to be regulated by one force. There are four main effects resulting from these interactions, all of which have been clearly demonstrated by experiments:
He heated, in a sealed glass tube, a solid compound of chlorine and water and noticed an oily liquid separating from the compound. One of the other researchers present at the time, John Ayrton Paris, berated Faraday on his dirty apparatus but Faraday was happy to inform the gentleman the next day, after performing some tests on the "impurity" that the oily substance was in fact liquid chlorine (Crowther, 22-23). The entire text of Faraday's letter to Ayrton on March 6th, 1823 is below:
