Michael Faraday

His doctoral dissertation, presented in 1883, described his experimental work on the electrical conductivity of dilute solutions; it also contained a speculative section that set out an early form of his theory that molecules of acids, bases, and salts dissociate into ions when these substances are dissolved in water — in contrast to the notion of Michael Faraday and others that ions are produced only when the electrical current begins to flow.

The term was coined by the pioneer of electricity, Michael Faraday, from the Greek word for “going,” to name those electrically charged particles that move when an electrical field is set up in a water solution.

We're introduced to Michael Faraday 1791-1867, a man who besides being a brilliant self-taught scientist was able to hold Victorian audiences rapt through a six-part lecture series called "The Chemical History of the Candle."

At that time, Brown was well known and had been honored across Europe, gaining an honorary doctorate from Oxford in the same ceremony as the great physicist Michael Faraday and chemist John Dalton, pioneering the exploration of Australia, and even advising Darwin on what equipment he should take with him on his famous voyage of discovery aboard the Beagle.
