Faraday
Faraday was a pioneering scientist who discovered how moving a magnet near a coil of wire can generate electricity, a principle called electromagnetic induction. This process is the foundation for many electrical devices, including generators and transformers. Essentially, when a magnetic field changes around a wire, it creates an electric current in the wire without any direct contact—relying on motion and magnetism. Faraday's work explained how electricity can be produced from magnetic forces, revolutionizing how we generate and use electrical power today.
