Michael Faraday (scientist)

Michael Faraday was a pioneering 19th-century scientist known for discovering electromagnetic induction, which explains how electric current can be generated by changing magnetic fields. His work laid the foundation for electrical engineering and technologies like generators and transformers. Faraday's experiments also contributed to understanding electrochemistry and made important advancements in chemistry, including the discovery of benzene. Despite limited formal education, his curiosity and precise experimentation revolutionized our understanding of electricity and magnetism, shaping modern science and technology.
