About this book

Michael Faraday gathered here the record of the patient bench experiments through which he uncovered many of the basic laws of electricity and magnetism. Working largely without mathematics, he reports his discovery of electromagnetic induction, the principles of electrolysis, and the idea of lines of force that would later underpin field theory. What makes the book remarkable is its method: each claim rests on an experiment described plainly enough for anyone to follow or repeat. It offers a rare look at one of history's greatest experimentalists thinking on the page. This edition collects his foundational electrical researches. Free to download as a PDF or EPUB.

About the author

Michael Faraday

Michael Faraday (1791-1867) was an English scientist who rose from bookbinder's apprentice to become one of the most important experimentalists in history. His work on electromagnetism and electrochemistry laid the groundwork for the electric age, and the farad unit of capacitance bears his name.
