The correct answer is All of the above
You may have heard of Michael Faraday, the British physicist and chemist who made several groundbreaking discoveries. Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early form of the Bunsen burner and the system of magnets, and proposed the laws of electrolysis. But Faraday is best known for his work on electricity and electrochemistry. He famously discovered that when a permanent magnet was moved in and out of a coil of wire, a current was induced in the coil. This was an enormously important discovery for the future of both science and technology.
In addition, Faraday discovered the effect of magnetism on light, and invented the electric generator and electric motor. But his most notable discovery was electromagnetic induction in 1831. This discovery was crucial in allowing electric transformers and generators to be developed, enabling the growth of the electrical industry.
Overall, Faraday’s discoveries revolutionized both chemistry and physics and laid the foundation for further advancements in numerous fields.
