He is best known for his discovery of the principle of electromagnetic induction and the laws of electrolysis. In \u003ci\u003eExperimental Researches in Electricity, \u003c\/i\u003e first published in three volumes between 1839 and 1855, Faraday discusses the inquiries that led to his development of the first dynamo (the precursor of modern dynamos and generators), and his establishment of the foundations of classical field theory. His descriptions contain scarcely a hint of mathematics, and he relates the progress of his experiments in direct, clear language. Using the primitive tools available to him in his time, in conjunction with his great imaginative gifts, Faraday explains how he arrived at his profound conclusions with stunning simplicity. \u003cbr\u003eThe writing is interesting and the expositions are impressive. -- \u003ci\u003eFlorida Scientist.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Faraday: An Electric Personality \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eA major figure in nineteenth-century science, Michael Faraday (1791-1867) made immense contributions to the study of electricity and magnetism, discovering the laws of electromagnetic induction and electrolysis. His experiments are the foundation of subsequent electromagnetic technology. He also had a sense of humor. When the Prime Minister of England William Gladstone asked Faraday what the usefulness of electricity would be, Faraday famously replied, Why, Sir, there is every possibility that you will soon be able to tax it! In addition to being a great experimenter, Faraday had the gift of exposition for a popular audience, as seen in the books which Dover has reprinted, \u003ci\u003eThe Forces of Matter\u003c\/i\u003e (2010), \u003ci\u003eExperimental Researches in Electricity\u003c\/i\u003e (2004), and perhaps his most famous single book for the general reader, \u003ci\u003eThe Chemical History of a Candle\u003c\/i\u003e (2003). \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is reliably reported that Einstein had a photograph of Faraday on the wall of his study alongside portraits of Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Author's Own Words: \u003cbr\u003eThe world little knows how many of the thoughts and theories which have passed through the mind of a scientific investigator have been crushed in silence and secrecy by his own severe criticism and adverse examination: that in the most successful instances not a tenth of the suggestions, the hopes, the wishes, the preliminary conclusions have been realized. -- Michael Faraday\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 336\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.48 x 5.42 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 15, 2004\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51756144525600,"sku":"9780486435053","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/3a96cde7637ab253128e1730a5a504ff.webp?v=1780075441","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/experimental-researches-in-electricity-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
