Michael Faraday's greatest achievement was the discovery of electromagnetic induction, which laid the foundation for modern electrical power generation and distribution. This groundbreaking work led to the development of the first electric generator and transformer, revolutionizing the field of electromagnetism.
Faraday, almost single-handedly, introduced and proved several concepts that were radical at their time but are now considered basic to our understanding of our Universe. It is one thing to be the first to come up with a mathematical approach that explains something about our Universe. It is another thing to prove that the approach is correct. The amazing thing is that, in many case, Faraday did both.
1) Prior to Faraday, scientists viewed electricity and magnetism as fluids that exerted a force on objects. Faraday first proposed the idea of an electric and a magnetic field, and also showed that our Universe can only be accurately described with this concept.
2) He showed that a change in the magnetic flux through a conducting coil would result in a current going through that coil. While not the first to speculate on a relation between electricity and magnetism, Faraday moved their integration far along.
3) He was the first to show that the transmission of light could be affected by a magnetic field, meaning the two might have something in common. Light is now known as an electro-magnetic wave.
4) He invented a rotary electric motor which is now a standard device throughout the world.
