  1. Michael Faraday BY: Jordyn King

  2. Introduction I chose him because he seemed like he had an interesting life with many interesting discoveries. Michael Faraday was an English chemist and physicist who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Example of Electrochemistry

  3. Birth Certificate

  4. Jan. 13, 1812 Dear Diary, Today when I woke up there was a bunch of snow outside. That means that I do not have to attend Sir Humphrey's* lecture today. He teaches me chemistry. My mother, Margaret, taught me my school work today though. She teaches me everything, except the science things. That’s why I go to Sir Humphrey’s. My father is one of the town’s blacksmiths. I help out after I am done with school. And now I’m going to go outside and play in the Newington snow. Yours Truly, *Sir Humphrey Davy – a British chemist

  5. Scientific Magazine Faraday makes some more “laws” This week Michael Faraday and his assistant Joseph Henry discovered what they call, “Faraday’s Law of Induction”. This law states that, “The induced electromotive force (EMF) in any closed circuit is equal to the time rate of change of the magnetic flux through the circuit.” Alternatively this means, “That the EMF generated is proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux.” The law has to do with Faraday’s studies in electromagnetism. The two scientists say that they discovered this within months of experiments. The experiments consisted of connecting and disconnecting a wire to a battery. This made a transit current (wave of electricity). Faraday had found several other manifestations of electromagnetic induction. For example, he saw transient currents when he quickly slid a bar magnet in and out of a coil of wires, and he generated a steady current by rotating a copper disk near a bar magnet with a sliding electrical lead ("Faraday's disk"). They then came up with the law.

  6. Timeline of His Life 1791- Born on September 22nd in Newington , Surrey, England 1821- He got married to his wife Sarah Barnard on June 12th Invents the first electric motor 1823- Faraday liquefies chlorine 1831- Discovers Electromagnetic Induction 1834- Announced his 2 famous Laws of Electrolysis ( 1845- Discovers the light propagation in a material that can be influenced by magnetic fields 1850- Preformed experiments to find link between gravity and electromagnetism fail 1867- Died on August 25tth in London, England

  7. Facts Albert Einstein kept a photograph of Michael Faraday for inspiration, along side of Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell. Invented an early form of what was to become the Bunsen burner.

  8. His Side Job Michael Faraday also had a job as a Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain.

  9. Worked With Other Scientists Michael Faraday also worked with scientists such as Joseph Henry who contributed in the discovery of Faraday’s Law of Induction.

  10. What He Worked On Rotating-Magnet Electrical Generator Faraday Wheel, used for a generator in many of his experiments
