释义
Faraday, Michael (1791–1867)

Physics
  • who received little formal education. He started to experiment on electricity and in 1812 attended lectures by Sir Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution; a year later he became Davy’s assistant. He remained at the Institution until 1861. Faraday’s chemical discoveries include the liquefaction of chlorine (1823) and the discovery of benzene (1825), as well as the laws of electrolysis in 1834 (see Faraday’s laws). He is probably best remembered for his work in physics: in 1821 he demonstrated electromagnetic rotation (the principle of the electric motor) and in 1831 discovered electromagnetic induction (the principle of the dynamo). In 1845 he discovered the Faraday effect.

Philosophy
  • The son of a blacksmith, Faraday was apprenticed to a bookbinder when he attracted the attention of Sir Humphrey Davy in 1812. His many discoveries included electro-magnetic ‘lines of force’, and his view of the atom as merely a centre of force opened up field theory, and itself owed ancestry to the views of Kant, and especially Boscovich.
