THE MODERN DEVELOPMENT OF FARADAY’S CONCEPTION OF ELECTRICITY [1881]
Hermann von Helmholtz
The Faraday Lecture, delivered before the Fellows of the Chemical Society in London on April 5, 1881
As I have the honor of speaking to you in memory of the great man who, from the very place where I stand, has so often revealed to his admiring auditors the most unexpected secrets of nature, I hope at the outset to gain your assent if I limit my exposition to that side of his activity which I know the best from my own experiences and studies: I mean the theory of electricity. The majority, indeed, of Faraday’s own researches were connected directly or indirectly with questions regarding the nature of electricity, and his most important and most renowned discoveries lay in this field. The facts which he discovered are universally known. Every physicist at present is acquainted with the rotation of the plane of polarization of light by magnetism, with dielectric tension and diamagnetism, and with the measurement of the intensity of galvanic currents by the voltameter, while induced currents act on the telephone, are applied to paralyzed muscles, and nourish the electric light.
