Michael Faraday Facts.

Michael Faraday Facts
Well regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time, Michael Faraday was a British physicist and chemist whose combined expertise led to the development of many of today’s common technologies.
Read on for interesting facts, quotes and information about Michael Faraday.
 

  • Michael Faraday was born in England on the 22nd of September 1791 and died on the 25th of August 1867.
  • His work on electrochemistry and electromagnetism laid the foundation for many areas of science. He formed the basis of the electromagnetic field concept in physics, discovered the laws of electrolysis, invented electromagnetic rotary devices that were vital in the creation of electric motors and played a key role in the development of electricity for use in technology.
  • Not limited to physics and electromagnetism, Faraday also invented a simple Bunsen burner, coined terms such as electrode, cathode, anode and ion, discovered benzene and investigated the nature of chlorine.
  • Faraday had only a basic education in a family that was not well off. He had only a minimal understanding of technical mathematical concepts but was still able to produce some of the most important scientific concepts in history and did so in a language that was clear and easily understood.
  • Faraday was a man of honor who was strong in his convictions. He rejected both a knighthood and an offer to become President of the Royal Society as well turning down a burial in Westminster Abbey. He also refused to assist the British government in the production of chemical weapons for use in war.
  • Famous Michael Faraday quotes include: “But still try, for who knows what is possible”
  • “Nothing is too wonderful to be true, if it be consistent with the laws of nature”
  • “There is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of natural philosophy than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle”
  • “I was at first almost frightened when I saw such mathematical force made to bear upon the subject, and then wondered to see that the subject stood it so well.”
