The electric motor turned out to be one of the most useful inventions made. It is now used for many things in household use such as fans, fan-forced ovens, washing machines, refrigerators, vacuum cleaners and even pool pumps. Other uses are record players, DVD and CD players, printers, computer equipment and disk drives.
He also invented the electric generator which did the opposite to an electric motor, changing mechanical energy into electrical energy and the electric transformer on 29th August 1831. He discovered many things including electro-magnetic induction in 1831, electro-magnetic rotations on the 4th September 1821, field theory in 1831, diamagnetism in September 1845, the magneto-optical effect and a lot more. More of his most famous inventions and discoveries are the Faraday Cage, Constant, Wheel, Wave, Paradox, and Cup.
The Faraday Cage is an area formed by conducting material which blocks out any external static electrical fields. Michael Faraday built one himself in 1836. This effect protected electrical equipment from being damaged by electrostatic discharges such as lightning.
The Faraday Constant is the magnitude of electrical charge per mole of electrons (96 485.3415 s A / mol).
The Faraday Wheel is very similar to the generator and was invented before the generator, but it does not utilize a magnetic field.
The Faraday Waves are that appear on liquids enclosed by a vibrating receptacle.
The Faraday Paradox is an experimental demonstration of Michael’s law of electromagnetic induction.
The Faraday Cup is a metal cup that allows charged particles to be caught and trapped in a vacuum.
Michael was recognized as one of the best scientist known, and he improved society massively. He was offered knighthood by Queen Victoria, but he rejected it gracefully.
People now use Michael Faradays inventions in their everyday lives and he has had made a lot of time-consuming, tough jobs become very easy and quick. Michael Faraday really has changed the world and the way we live in it.
