1906 Nobel Prize in Physics

The 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to Joseph Henry for his discoveries related to electromagnetism, particularly his work on the self-induction of electrical currents and the phenomenon of magnetic induction. His research helped deepen the understanding of how magnetic fields can generate electric currents, which is fundamental to the development of electrical technology. Henry's experiments and insights contributed to the foundational principles that underlie electric motors and transformers, shaping modern electrical engineering. His work was recognized for advancing the scientific knowledge of electromagnetism, a key area in physics that explains many electrical devices.
