Daniel Faraday (1791–1867) was a prominent British scientist known for his contributions to electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He is best known for his discoveries of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and electrolysis. Faraday's work laid the foundation for many technologies we use today, including electric generators and transformers. He formulated Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction, which describe how a changing magnetic field can induce an electrical current in a conductor.
