Biografi Michael Faraday Penemu Listrik

Michael Faraday adalah ilmuwan Inggris yang mendapat julukan “Bapak Listrik”, karena
berkat usahanya listrik menjadi teknologi yang banyak gunanya. Faraday lahir 22 September
1791 di Newington, Inggris. Ia mempelajari berbagai bidang ilmu pengetahuan, termasuk
elektromagnetisme dan elektrokimia. Dia juga menemukan alat yang nantinya menjadi
pembakar Bunsen, yang digunakan hampir di seluruh laboratorium sains sebagai sumber
panas yang praktis.

Efek magnetisme menuntunnya menemukan ide-ide yang menjadi dasar teori medan magnet.
Ia banyak memberi ceramah untuk memopulerkan ilmu pengetahuan ilmu pengetahuan pada
masyarakat umum. Pendekatan rasionalnya dalam mengembangkan teori dan menganalisis
hasilnya amat mengagumkan.

Banyak tokoh penyumbang dalam hal kelistrikan: Charles Augustine de Coulomb, Count
Alessandro Volta, Hans Christian Oersted dan Andre Marie Ampere. Mereka-mereka ini
diantara jago-jago terbaik di bidang listrik. Namun, puncak bin puncak dari semuanya adalah
ilmuwan Inggris Michael Faraday dan James Clerk Maxwell. Walaupun kerja kedua orang itu
berkaitan satu sama lain dan saling lengkap-melengkapi, tetapi mereka bukan berada dalam
satu tim, masing-masing mencipta secara pribadi, karena itu kedua-duanya dapat tempat
terhormat di dalam daftar urutan buku ini.

Michael Faraday berasal dari keluarga tak berpunya dan umumnya belajar sendiri. Di usia
empat belas tahun dia magang jadi tukang jilid dan jual buku, dan kesempatan inilah yang
digunakannya banyak baca buku seperti orang kesetanan. Tatkala umurnya menginjak dua
puluh tahun, dia mengunjungi ceramah-ceramah yang diberikan oleh ilmuwan Inggris
kenamaan Sir Humphry Davy. Faraday terpesona dan ternganga-nganga. Ditulisnya surat
kepada Davy dan pendek ceritera untung baik diterima sebagai asistennya. Hanya dalam
tempo beberapa tahun, Faraday sudah bisa membikin penemuan-penemuan baru atas hasil
kreasinya sendiri. Meski dia tidak punya latar belakang yang memadai di bidang matematika,
selaku ahli ilmu alam dia tak terlawankan.

Penemuan Faraday pertama yang penting di bidang listrik terjadi tahun 1821. Dua tahun
sebelumnya Oersted telah menemukan bahwa jarum magnit kompas biasa dapat beringsut
jika arus listrik dialirkan dalam kawat yang tidak berjauhan. Ini membikin Faraday
berkesimpulan, jika magnit diketatkan, yang bergerak justru kawatnya. Bekerja atas dasar
dugaan ini, dia berhasil membuat suatu skema yang jelas dimana kawat akan terus-menerus
berputar berdekatan dengan magnit sepanjang arus listrik dialirkan ke kawat. Sesungguhnya
dalam hal ini Faraday sudah menemukan motor listrik pertama, suatu skema pertama
penggunaan arus listrik untuk membuat sesuatu benda bergerak. Betapapun primitifnya,
penemuan Faraday ini merupakan “nenek moyang” dari semua motor listrik yang digunakan
dunia sekarang ini.

Ini merupakan pembuka jalan yang luar biasa. Tetapi, faedah kegunaan praktisnya terbatas,
sepanjang tidak ada metode untuk menggerakkan arus listrik selain dari baterei kimiawi
sederhana pada saat itu. Faraday yakin, mesti ada suatu cara penggunaan magnit untuk
menggerakkan listrik, dan dia terus-menerus mencari jalan bagaimana menemukan metode
itu. Kini, magnit yang tak berpindah-pindah tidak mempengaruhi arus listrik yang berdekatan
dengan kawat. Tetapi di tahun 1831, Faraday menemukan bahwa bilamana magnit dilalui
lewat sepotong kawat, arus akan mengalir di kawat sedangkan magnit bergerak. Keadaan ini
disebut “pengaruh elektro magnetik,” dan penemuan ini disebut “Hukum Faraday” dan pada
umumnya dianggap penemuan Faraday yang terpenting dan terbesar.

Ini merupakan penemuan yang monumental, dengan dua alasan. Pertama, “Hukum Faraday”
mempunyai arti penting yang mendasar dalam hubungan dengan pengertian teoritis kita
tentang elektro magnetik. Kedua, elektro magnetik dapat digunakan untuk menggerakkan
secara terus-menerus arus aliran listrik seperti diperagakan sendiri oleh Faraday lewat
pembuatan dinamo listrik pertama. Meski generator tenaga pembangkit listrik kita untuk
mensuplai kota dan pabrik dewasa ini jauh lebih sempurna ketimbang apa yang diperbuat
Faraday, tetapi kesemuanya berdasar pada prinsip serupa dengan pengaruh elektro magnetik.

Faraday juga memberi sumbangan di bidang kimia. Dia membuat rencana mengubah gas jadi
cairan, dia menemukan pelbagai jenis kimiawi termasuk benzene. Karya lebih penting lagi
adalah usahanya di bidang elektro kimia (penyelidikan tentang akibat kimia terhadap arus
listrik). Penyelidikan Faraday dengan ketelitian tinggi menghasilkan dua hukum
“elektrolysis” yang penyebutannya dirangkaikan dengan namanya yang merupakan dasar dari
elektro kimia. Dia juga mempopulerkan banyak sekali istilah yang digunakan dalam bidang
itu seperti: anode, cathode, electrode dan ion.

Dan adalah Faraday juga yang memperkenalkan ke dunia fisika gagasan penting tentang garis
magnetik dan garis kekuatan listrik. Dengan penekanan bahwa bukan magnit sendiri
melainkan medan diantaranya, dia menolong mempersiapkan jalan untuk berbagai macam
kemajuan di bidang fisika modern, termasuk pernyataan Maxwell tentang persamaan antara
dua ekspresi lewat tanda (=) seperti 2x + 5 = 10. Faraday juga menemukan, jika perpaduan
dua cahaya dilewatkan melalui bidang magnit, perpaduannya akan mengalami perubahan.
Penemuan ini punya makna penting khusus, karena ini merupakan petunjuk pertama bahwa
ada hubungan antara cahaya dengan magnit.

Faraday bukan cuma cerdas tetapi juga tampan dan punya gaya sebagai penceramah. Tetapi,
dia sederhana, tak ambil peduli dalam hal kemasyhuran, duit dan sanjungan. Dia menolak
diberi gelar kebangsawanan dan juga menolak jadi ketua British Royal Society. Masa
perkawinannya panjang dan berbahagia, cuma tak punya anak. Michael Faraday wafat pada
25 Agustus 1867 di dekat kota London.
Biography Michael Faraday Electric
Inventor

Michael Faraday was a British scientist who earned the nickname "Mr. Electricity", because
thanks to his efforts that electricity became the technology of much use. Faraday was born 22
September 1791 in Newington, England. He studied the various fields of science, including
electromagnetism and electrochemistry. He also found a tool that will become the Bunsen
burner, which is used in almost all science laboratories as a practical source of heat.

Biography Michael Faraday Electric Inventor

Effect of magnetism led him find the ideas that became the basis of the theory of magnetic
field. He gave many lectures to popularize science knowledge in the general population.
Rational approach in developing the theory and analyze the results very impressive.

Many prominent contributor in the case of electricity: Charles Augustine de Coulomb, Count
Alessandro Volta, Hans Christian Oersted and Andre Marie Ampere. They-they are among
the best masters in the field of electricity. However, the peak bin peak of everything is the
English scientist Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell. While the work of the two men
were related to one another and a full-complement each other, but they are not within the
team, each created individually, because it can be both a place of honor in this list.

Michael Faraday comes from a family dispossessed and generally learn on their own. At the
age of fourteen he was an apprentice so builders volumes and selling books, and this is it uses
a lot of opportunities to read books like crazy. When stepped twenty years old, he visited the
lectures given by renowned British scientist Sir Humphry Davy. Faraday was fascinated and
gape-gaping. Wrote to Davy and short stories fortunately well received as his assistant.
Within a few years, Faraday was able to make new discoveries on his own creation. Although
he did not have sufficient background in mathematics, as a natural scientist he did not
terlawankan.

Faraday first important invention in the field of electricity occurred in 1821. Two years
earlier Oersted had discovered that the magnetic needle compass can be shifted if the
ordinary electric current flowed in the wire are not far apart. This make Faraday concluded, if
the magnet diketatkan, which move precisely the wire. Working on the basis of this
allegation, he managed to make a clear scheme where the wire will be continuously rotating
adjacent to the magnet along the electric current is applied to the wire. Indeed in this case the
Faraday had discovered the first electric motor, a first schem the use of electrical currents to
make an object move. No matter how primitive, Faraday's discovery of an "ancestor" of all
electric motors used today's world.

This is a remarkable pacer. However, the benefits are limited practical uses, as long as there
is no method to drive the electric current from the battery chemistry other than simple at the
time. Faraday sure, there must be a way of using magnets to drive electric, and he was
constantly looking for a way how to find a method that. Now, the magnetic sedentary does
not affect the electric current which is adjacent to the wire. But in 1831, Faraday discovered
that when the magnet passed through a piece of wire, current will flow in the wire while the
magnet moves. This state is called "electro-magnetic influence," and this is called "Faraday's
Law" and is generally considered the most important discovery of Faraday and greatest.
This is a monumental discovery, for two reasons. First, the "Faraday's Law" has a
fundamental importance in relation to our theoretical understanding of the electro-magnetic.
Secondly, electro-magnetic can be used to drive a continuous flow of electrical flow as
demonstrated by Faraday himself through the manufacture of the first electric dynamo.
Although the power generator to supply power our cities and factories today is much more
perfect than what is done Faraday, but all based on similar principles to the electro magnetic
influence.

Faraday also contributed in the field of chemistry. He made a plan to turn the gas so fluid, he
found various types of chemicals, including benzene. Even more important is the work of his
efforts in the field of electro-chemical (an investigation of the effects of chemical to electrical
current). Faraday investigation with great precision to produce two law "elektrolysis" which
penyebutannya coupled with its name which is the basis of electro-chemistry. He also
popularized a lot of terms used in the fields such as: anode, cathode, electrode, and ion.
And is Faraday also introduced to the world of physics is an important idea about the
magnetic lines and electric power lines. With the emphasis that is not its own magnetic field
instead of them, he helped prepare the way for a wide range of advances in the field of
modern physics, including Maxwell statement about the similarities between the two
expressions through sign (=) as 2x + 5 = 10. Faraday also found that, if a blend of the two
light is passed through a magnetic field, combination of them will change. This discovery has
a special significance, because this is the first clue that there is a relationship between light
with magnet.

Faraday not only intelligent but also good-looking and had a style as a lecturer. However, he
was simple, did not take care in fame, money and adulation. He declined been knighted and
also refused to be president of the British Royal Society. Masa long and happy marriage, just
do not have children. Michael Faraday died on August 25, 1867 near the city of London.
