What did Michael Faraday become famous for?
in the form of a copper disk rotated between the poles of a permanent magnet, the precursor of modern dynamos and generators. From his discovery of electromagnetic induction (1831) stemmed a vast development of electrical machinery for industry. In 1825, Faraday discovered the compound benzene. In addition to other contributions he did research on electrolysis, formulating its two laws. He laid the foundations of the classical field theory, later was fully developed by J. C. Maxwell.
