Faradays electromagnetic induction experiment, 1882
Faradays electromagnetic induction experiment, 1882. The inner coil is connected to a liquid battery, the outer coil to a galvanometer. Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century. His most significant contribution was the Experimental Researches on Electricity which was published over 40 years, where he described his discoveries, including the laws of electromagnetic induction (1831) and the laws of electrolysis (1833). He also discovered the principles of the electric motor and dynamo

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Faraday's groundbreaking electromagnetic induction experiment conducted in 1882. The image showcases the intricate setup, with an inner coil connected to a liquid battery and an outer coil linked to a galvanometer. Michael Faraday, renowned as one of the greatest scientists of the 19th century, spearheaded this experiment. Faraday's Experimental Researches on Electricity remains his most significant contribution to scientific knowledge. Over four decades, he meticulously documented his discoveries, including the laws of electromagnetic induction in 1831 and the laws of electrolysis in 1833. Moreover, Faraday unraveled the principles behind electric motors and dynamos. The photograph exudes an air of Victorian sophistication with its rich colors and attention to detail. It transports us back to a time when scientific exploration was at its zenith. This visual representation serves as a testament to Faraday's relentless pursuit of knowledge and his profound impact on physics. As we gaze upon this nineteenth-century scientific instrument captured by Oxford Science Archive, we are reminded of Britain's remarkable legacy in science during that era. Michael Faraday's genius shines through this print collector's work, preserving his invaluable contributions for generations to come.
