Michael Faraday recorded in his laboratory diary that he was 'making many experiments with the great magnet of the Royal Society'. This date is significant because it marks the beginning of Faraday's great series of experiments in which he discovered electromagnetic induction.
Michael Faraday was appointed as a Chemical Assistant at the Royal Institution. This marked the beginning of his formal career in science, working under Sir Humphry Davy.
Faraday's first recorded experiment involved constructing a voltaic pile with coins and zinc discs. He used it to decompose a chemical compound, marking his early exploration into electricity and chemistry.
Michael Faraday was born in Newington Butts, Surrey, England. This date marks the beginning of the life of one of the most influential scientists in history, known for his contributions to electrochemistry and electromagnetism.
