The Effects of Corruption
-Faraday- his major contributions were in the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He explained the basis of magnetic field through his studies on the effects of magnetic field around a conductor which carried Direct Current (DC).
In 1831, Faraday made one of his most renowned discoveries, the principle of electromagnetic induction by using the "induction ring". The electricity was generated by means of electromagnetic effect. This was the first version of an electric transformer. He further discovered that magneto electric induction produced electric current on a continuous basis.
Through a sliding contact to a disc made of copper, Faraday attached two wires. He rotated the disc between the two poles (north and south) of a horse shoe magnet and found that he obtained a continuous flow of direct current. But when the rotation was stopped, the current generation was also stopped. This was the first step to the discovery of popular devices like electric motor, generator and transformer.
-Oersted- In 1820 he arranged in his home a science demonstration to friends and students. He planned to demonstrate the heating of a wire by an electric current, and also to carry out demonstrations of magnetism, for which he provided a compass needle mounted on a wooden stand.
While performing his electric demonstration, Hans Christian Oersted noted to his surprise that every time the electric current was switched on, the compass needle moved. He kept quiet and finished the demonstrations, but in the months that followed worked hard trying to make sense out of the new phenomenon.
However, Hans Christian Oersted could not explain why. The needle was neither attracted to the wire nor repelled from it. Instead, it tended to stand at right angles. In the end he published his findings without any explanation.
-Andre Marie Ampere - felt that if a current in a wire exerted a magnetic force on a compass needle, two such wires also should interact magnetically. In a

    His most significant discoveries, however, were in the field of electricity. His famous kite experiment proved that lightning is an electrical phenomenon. In 1774 he invented a cast-iron open heater, which projected out from the chimney and radiated heat from the back and from the sides as well as the front (126).…

    One of Franklin’s most used inventions is the lightning rod. Franklin studied electricity in a small laboratory. He assumed lightning was electricity he but wanted to prove it. “On a stormy night in 1752, he conducted a life threatening experiment to demonstrate that lightning is the result of electrical buildup. He constructed a kite that carried a metal spike and flew it into the thunderstorm” (Bhunoo 201). Franklin reeled his kite back in to study it. He was trying to get the lightning to strike the key and see if his theory was correct. “Franklin noticed that it sparked as he brought his knuckles close to it” (Bhunoo 201). As the lightning sparked he understood that it was electricity. Even though some people credit Franklin with the invention of electricity, electricity was in existence long before he was born.…

    The second Industrial Revolution utilized the power of electricity to help them develop their technology and help social and home life. Michael Faraday, a British scientist, demonstrated how an electric current could be made. This concept and principle is still in use today. Electricity improved life by supplying people with light, and electricity to power machines. Communications improved as a result of electricity. The telephone and telegraph were the first communicational devices that were for public use. With the development of technology, radio waves were discovered. Now messages could be sent over long distances in virtually no time.…

    Benjamin Franklin, always a lover of storms, first arose upon other electrical experiments in 1746. Soon after, he turned his home into a miniature laboratory and began working. That summer, after shocking himself during an experiment, he started to mark down all of his experiments and sent them to scientist Peter Collinson in London. After all of these experiments, Franklin started to use the words positive and negative, instead of “vitreous” and “resinous,” previously used before. A letter to Collinson in 1749 described the concept of an electrical battery, but no ideas for its use.3…

    "I am going to make a name for myself. If I fail, you will never hear from me again." (Edward James Muggeridge). The first traceable form of anything relating to motion pictures was the "Magic Lantern" invented in the 17th Century by Athansius Kircher in Rome, Italy. The device had a lens that projected pictures from transparencies onto a screen, with a mere candle. This was the first step towards the revolution that would progress to a more advanced device in centuries to come. In 1831 the law of electromagnetic induction was discovered by an English scientist Michael Faraday, a major part used in generating elcectricity and powering simple motors and machines, including film equipment. In 1832 a Belgian inventor by the name of Joseph Plateau created a device called the "Fantascope" or "spindle viewer". Simple enough, it made a sequence of seperate pictures depicting stages or actions, like juggling or dancing. The images were arranged around the outter circle of a slotted disk. The disk required being placed in front of a mirror and rotated. Someone viewing through the slots saw a moving picture (Filmsite) In 1934 William George Horner, a British inventor, invited the "Daedalum". The Daedalum was a hollow, rotating drum with a crank, and had a strip of sequential photographs and drawings on…
