Faraday et l'électricité (E14)

Today, Maestro chose the topic "electricity" for his lecture. The first contact of human beings with this mysterious phenomenon definitely was the stroke of lightning. This mystical power would remain a riddle to the people for a long time, until a certain Michael Faraday would solve it. He was born in the early 19th century as the son of a poor blacksmith. Already at a very young age, he was noticeably curious and thirsty for knowledge. His many experiments with some self-induced explosions astounded his parents and surroundings. Very soon Faraday discovered that a magnet in motion causes electrical currents. Untiringly he kept doing research, looking for an explanation for this phenomenon. (iTunes)
