Transcript of Michael Faraday (Child friendly)
MICHAEL FARADAY
His lifeBritish Chemist & physicistBorn on the 22nd September 1791 in South
LondonHis family were not well off and he only received
a basic, formal education.When he was 14 he apprenticed to a local
bookbinder and the following 7 years while he worked there, he read many books on scientific subjects
He was well known for electricityIn 1831, he began a series of experiments to do
with electricityHe died in 1867
His discovery In 1831, he discovered electromagnetic
induction (Electromagnetic induction is the production of voltage across a conductor situated in a changing magnetic field or a conductor moving through a stationary magnetic field. Found on wikipedia.org)
This would have been done in a lab and lots of testing to find this out and prove it.
Faradays discoveries todayHis discovery of Electro magnetic induction is found
in many things today, that is why I think it is important. Without some of the following things its in, life wouldn’t be the same:
Induction motorsElectrical generatorsTransformersContactless charging of rechargeable batteriesGraphics tabletWireless energy transferElectric Guitar PickupsCurrent transformer metersClamp meterAudio and video tapes
Which one?I think that the electromagnetic induction
was the most important and that is why I have used that one throughout this presentation, not any others. As without this life may not have evolved as well and many extras we have today may not have been around.
