The document summarizes biographies of several important scientists in electricity and magnetism. It discusses their key contributions and discoveries, including Ohm formulating Ohm's Law relating current, voltage and resistance. William Gilbert pioneered the experimental study of magnetism. Joseph Henry discovered self-inductance and invented the electric motor and galvanometer. Charles Coulomb formulated Coulomb's Law and studied friction. Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction and studied electrolysis, with the farad unit of capacitance named after him.
Scientists
- 1. GEORGE SIMON OHMKnown his research on electrical currents. Study the relation between :the intensity of an electric current,
- 2. its voltage
- 3. and resistance.In 1827 formulated the law that bears his name: Ohm'sLawGerman physicist and mathematician, was born on March 16, 1789 in Erlangen, Bavaria.
- 4. WILLIAM GILBERTPioneered the experimental study of magnetic phenomena.Receive credit for being the first father of electricity and magnetism.First person to use the terms:electric force
- 6. electric attraction. first to explain the operation of the magnetic compass.English scientist and physician, was born on May 24, 1544 in Colchester, England
- 7. Joseph HenryHis experimental work in chemistry, electricity, and magnetism reflected only a small portion of his broad scientific interest.Discovered the phenomenon of self-inductance.He invented a galvanometer and theelectric motor.The unit of inductance, called ``henry,'' immortalizes his name.American physicistand scientificadministrator, wasbornonDecember 17, 1797 in Albany, New York.
- 8. Charles Augustin de Coulombknown for the formulation of Coulomb`s Law.Coulomb is distinguished in the history alike of mechanics and of electricity and magnetism. StudyonfrictionCoulombic force is one of the principal forces involved in atomic reactions.The coulomb, a unit of electric charge, was named in his honour.French physicist, was born on June 14, 1736 in Angouleme, France.
- 9. Michael faradayStudiedelectromagnetism and electrochemistry.Discoveredelectromagneticinductionstudied on electrolysis and discovered two fundamental laws that bear his name: Ley de Faraday:Mass = electrochemical equivalent, by the intensity and time (m = cIt).Farad (F): unit of electrical capacity of SI units.English chemist, natural philosopher and physicist , was born on August 25, 1867 in London, England
