This man built a device involving a wire that rotates around a magnet in a pool of mercury, the first homopolar motor, but failed to credit the assistance of his mentor, Humphry Davy.
This man built a device involving a wire that rotates around a magnet in a pool of mercury, the first homopolar motor, but failed to credit the assistance of his mentor, Humphry Davy. This scientist formulated two laws of electrolysis and demonstrated that an electric charge in a conducting shell induces an equal charge on the shell in his ice pail experiment. His namesake law states that the induced electromotive force in a closed circuit is equal to the negative time rate of change of the magnetic flux in the circuit. That law is the third of Maxwell's equations. He is thr inventor of the dynamo and the namesake of a conductive "cage". For 10 points, name this discoverer of inductance.
