Although Faraday received little formal education he was one of the most
influential scientists in history. It was by his research on the magnetic
field around a conductor carrying a direct current that Faraday established the
basis for the concept of the electromagnetic field in physics. Faraday also
established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an
underlying relationship between the two phenomena. He similarly discovered
the principle of electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and the laws of
electrolysis. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the
foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts
that electricity became practical for use in technology.

As a chemist, Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of
chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of
oxidation numbers, and popularised terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode,
and ion. Faraday ultimately became the first and foremost Fullerian Professor of
Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, a lifetime position.

Faraday was an excellent experimentalist who conveyed his ideas in clear and
simple language; his mathematical abilities, however, did not extend as far as
trigonometry or any but the simplest algebra. James Clerk Maxwell took the work
of Faraday and others, and summarized it in a set of equations that is accepted
as the basis of all modern theories of electromagnetic phenomena. On Faraday's
uses of the lines of force, Maxwell wrote that they show Faraday "to have been
in reality a mathematician of a very high order -- one from whom the
mathematicians of the future may derive valuable and fertile methods." The SI
unit of capacitance, the farad, is named in his honour.
