Michael Faraday-A great Experimentalist

In popular culture, there is a saying that without Michael Faraday, none of us would have made a day possible! So much is Faraday’s influence on modern day science and technology that almost all the inventions and machines of present day use Faradic principles for their functioning. The concept of magnetism and chemical processes called as electrolysis are all the brain child of Michael Faraday who is known to be the greatest experimentalist who has ever lived. The principles of electromagnetism which was discovered and documented by Faraday lead to a number of present day discoveries including the dynamo, the generator, the photocopying machine, the telephone, computer monitors, television sets, radio sets and a long list of other day- to- day items. The generator which produces electricity through mechanical forces is one of the greatest inventions ever known to man. Without the generator, it is hard to comprehend how the present day world would have been. I can very well understand the meaning of what our forefathers meant by saying that small things go a long way in making the world develop a bit each day! Faraday would go down in history as the electricity man; whose mere thought would leave your chemical senses of the brain in an excited state!
