Discovering the work of Michael Faraday
Dick and Dom describe the life and scientific work of 'Absolute Genius', Michael Faraday. He lived about 200 years ago and is most remembered for his work on electrical energy. At the Royal Institution he discovered the relationship between magnets and electricity. That is, if a magnet moves near a wire an electrical charge is induced. Dick and Dom demonstrate the Faraday cage by stopping a million volts of electricity. The key scientific points are made in a fun and student-friendly way.
