Nicholas Callan (1799–1864) was an Irish priest and physicist known for his pioneering work in the field of electromagnetism. He is best known for inventing the "induction coil," also known as the "Ruhmkorff coil," which is a type of electrical transformer used to generate high-voltage pulses. This invention played a significant role in the development of electrical engineering and helped advance the understanding of electromagnetism.
