Question: Michael Faraday was an early 19th-century British scientist, he contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry, and died on which date?

Context paragraphs:
Faraday's ice pail experiment: Faraday's ice pail experiment is a simple electrostatics experiment performed in 1843 by British scientist Michael Faraday that demonstrates the effect of electrostatic induction on a conducting container.  For a container, Faraday used a metal pail made to hold ice, which gave the experiment its name.  The experiment shows that an electric charge enclosed inside a conducting shell induces an equal charge on the shell, and that in an electrically conducting body, the charge resides entirely on the surface.  It also demonstrates the principles behind electromagnetic shielding such as employed in the "Faraday cage".  The ice pail experiment was the first precise "quantitative" experiment on electrostatic charge.  It is still used today in lecture demonstrations and physics laboratory courses to teach the principles of electrostatics.

Charge conservation: In physics, charge conservation is the principle that electric charge can neither be created nor destroyed.  The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always "conserved".  Charge conservation was first proposed by British scientist William Watson in 1746 and American statesman and scientist Benjamin Franklin in 1747, although the first convincing proof was given by Michael Faraday in 1843.

John Tatum (scientist): John Tatum (1772 – 1858) was a British scientist and philosopher and a London silversmith by trade.  He was the founder, in 1808, of the City Philosophical Society where Michael Faraday and other scientists received inspiration.

Godolphin (novel): Godolphin is a satirical 19th-century British romance novel by Edward Bulwer-Lytton.  It is about the life of an idealistic man, Percy Godolphin, and his eventual lover, Constance Vernon.  Written as a frame narrative, "Godolphin" provides a satirical insight into the day-to-day lives of the early 19th-century British elite.  The story is told through the narration of two protagonists, Percy Godolphin and Constance Vernon, as they rise to prominence among the London elite.

Electric generator: In electricity generation, a generator is a device that converts motive power into electrical power for use in an external circuit.  Sources of mechanical energy include steam turbines, gas turbines, water turbines, internal combustion engines and even hand cranks.  The first electromagnetic generator, the Faraday disk, was built in 1831 by British scientist Michael Faraday.  Generators provide nearly all of the power for electric power grids.

Faraday (disambiguation): Michael Faraday was an early 19th-century British scientist (physicist and chemist).

Faraday paradox (electrochemistry): The Faraday paradox was a once inexplicable aspect of the reaction between nitric acid and steel.  Around 1830, the English scientist Michael Faraday found that diluted nitric acid would attack steel, but concentrated nitric acid would not.  The attempt to explain this discovery led to advances in electrochemistry.

Faraday Prize (disambiguation): The Faraday Prize, named after British scientist Michael Faraday, can refer to:

Faraday cage: A Faraday cage or Faraday shield is an enclosure used to block electromagnetic fields.  A Faraday shield may be formed by a continuous covering of conductive material or in the case of a Faraday cage, by a mesh of such materials.  Faraday cages are named after the English scientist Michael Faraday, who invented them in 1836.

Michael Faraday: Michael Faraday FRS ( ; 22 September 1791 – 25 August 1867) was an English scientist who contributed to the study of electromagnetism and electrochemistry.  His main discoveries include the principles underlying electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis.
