Michael Faraday (1 jan 1845 ano – 1 jan 1846 ano)

Descrição:

In 1845, Faraday discovered that a magnetic field influenced polarized light, a phenomenon which was later named the Faraday effect. He believed that light could be the vibration of the electric and magnetic lines of force. Such a discovery was one of the first indications that electromagnetism and light were related in some fashion. His description of electromagnetic interactions ultimately resulted in his contributions to electro-engineering and electrochemistry, two highly utilized concepts in the scientific community. In addition to those contributions, he invented the electric motor, which in itself is a significant facet in engineering as well as science.
