=== Electricity === Many key discoveries about electricity were made in the 1830s. [[Electromagnetic induction]] was discovered independently by [[Michael Faraday]] and [[Joseph Henry]] in 1831; however, Faraday was the first to publish the results of his experiments.<ref>{{cite book|last=Ulaby|first=Fawwaz|title=Fundamentals of applied electromagnetics|edition=5th|year=2007|url=https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0132413264/ref=ord_cart_shr?%5Fencoding=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&v=glance|publisher=Pearson:Prentice Hall|isbn=978-0-13-241326-8|page=255}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nas.edu/history/members/henry.html |title=Joseph Henry |access-date=2006-11-30 |work=Distinguished Members Gallery, National Academy of Sciences |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061209134636/http://www.nas.edu/history/members/henry.html |archive-date=2006-12-09 }}</ref> Electromagnetic induction is the production of a [[potential difference]] (voltage) across a [[Electrical conductor|conductor]] when it is exposed to a varying [[magnetic field]]. This discovery was essential to the invention of [[transformer]]s, [[inductor]]s, and many types of [[electric motor|electrical motors]], [[Electric generator|generators]] and [[solenoid]]s.<ref name="Sadiku386">{{cite book|author=Sadiku, M.

A. Peltier]] discovered the [[Peltier effect|Peltier "effect"]], which is the presence of heating or cooling at an electrified junction of two different conductors. In 1836, [[John Frederic Daniell|John Daniell]] invented a primary cell in which [[hydrogen]] was eliminated in the generation of the electricity.
