2. Short biography
Michael Faraday was born in Newington Butts on September 22, 1791, he
married Sarah Barnard (1800-1879) on 2 June 1821, and they had no
children. He died in London on 25 August 1867.
3. Sciens
He also made his first investigations in the field of chemistry. A study
of chlorine led to the discovery of two new chlorides of carbon. He also
discovered benzene, investigated new varieties of optical glass and
successfully conducted a series of experiments in the gas liquefaction
areas.
4. Electricity and Magnetism
He was an English scientist who contributed especially in the fields of
electrochemistry and electromagnetism, he made important contributions
in the field of electricity. Faraday is best known for his work on
electricity and magnetism. The first experiment was documented in the
construction of a voltaic pile with seven half-penny coins, stacked with
seven disks of sheet zinc, and six pieces of paper moistened with salt
water. This stack was breaking magnesium sulfate.
In 1821, after the Danish Oersted discovered the chemical relationship
between electric currents and magnetic fields, Faraday discovered the
basis of modern electromagnetic technology, built two devices to produce
what he called electromagnetic rotation, in fact, an electric motor. He
discovered through continuous circular motion caused by the magnetic
force around a wire, a wire immersed in a bath of mercury which has a
magnet.
5. The wire will rotate around the magnet if one feeds it with current
from a chemical battery. Working with static electricity, he showed
that the electric charge accumulates on the outside of electrical
conductors loaded, regardless of what might be inside. This effect is
used in the device called Faraday cage.

7. personal opinion:
To me what this man did is a very good idea because this invention
helped a lot.He contributed to progress with these inventions. (mireia).
This work has been great and I thank you because you know about the
topic. (silvia).
