ResponderEliminarMICHAEL FARADAY
ResponderEliminarGeneral dates
Michael Faraday was British, he was physicist and chemistry he did study the electromagnetism and electrochemistry, he was son of James Faraday, one of four children, her childhood was poor. When he 13 years old he began to work like helper to a local bookbinder and bookseller George Riebau, the next year he was ascended to apprentice of the job. During seven years that he was here, he did read scientific books and he did experiments about electricity obtaining a big interest for the science but he didn`t know mathematics and differential calculus but he did have a great ability to make graphics.
He was a completely dedicated Christian.
Religious
He considered his religious like something more important that his scientific race.
He died 25th of august of 1867.
His studies
Michael Faraday, had only the most basic of school educations, when he worked like bookbinder began the true process of education of Michael Faraday who being a self-taught person, by its effort, he became to be most eminent of the experimenters of century XIX. He was the best example of complete independence between the creative genius and the knowledge conferred by the scholastic formation.
Fascinated by the content of some articles on electricity, it made a voltaic battery with which it developed diverse electrochemical experiments
In discord with their contemporaries, who contemplated the electricity like a fluid that moved between the elements, Faraday proposed imagine it like an interchange of energetic qualities. During his experiences destined to reinforce his idea he described the phenomenon of the decomposition of salts in his elementary components to the being crossed by electrical currents that he himself baptized like electrolysis.
He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis.
How he did become in an important scientific?
After some years of work in the library, and for the opportunity that gave a client him, it could attend the lectures on chemistry subjects that Humphry Davy gave in Royal Institution. Faraday did send him all the notes that had taken throughout these sessions, accompanied by a use request. Satisfied with the material that Faraday had sent to him, Davy contracted it in 1812, like assistant.
Its activity began realizing maintenance workings, to happen later to collaborate with the teacher in the preparation of the laboratory practices; this way, one became one more of his disciples.
Tips to be a good scientific
To be a good scientific Michael Faraday take 6 tips from a book that he did read when he was 14 years old, (The improvement of the mind of Isaac Watts), this tips are:
• Have always with you a small pad with the purpose of taking notes at any time.
• Maintain abundant correspondence.
• Meet persons to interchange ideas.
• Avoid the controversies.
• Verify everything that it is said to you.
• Not generalize, speak and write as precise as possible.
