Faraday (Michael Faraday)

Michael Faraday was a pioneering scientist in the 19th century who discovered how electric and magnetic fields interact. He found that moving a magnet near a coil of wire creates an electric current—a principle called electromagnetic induction. This discovery is fundamental to generating electricity in generators and transformers. Faraday also studied electromagnetic fields, establishing that electricity, magnetism, and light are related phenomena. His work laid the foundation for many modern electrical technologies, making him one of the most influential figures in the development of electromagnetism and electrical engineering.
