Faraday
Electromagnetic induction discoverer
Faraday refers to Michael Faraday (1791–1867), the English scientist whose experiments with electromagnetism laid the groundwork for electric motors and generators.
His name appears in numerous scientific terms: a Faraday cage shields against electromagnetic fields, and the Faraday effect describes how magnetic fields rotate polarized light. (Lowercase faraday is a unit of electric charge.)
