This work is a collection of essays by physicist and chemist Michael Faraday that were instrumental in the development of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His work signified an important shift in the study of chemistry, moving the prevailing theory from one based on the study of chemical affinity to one based on the study of the behavior of charged particles. Faraday's development of the concept of electrochemical equivalents, first presented in the fifth and seventh series of his Experimental Researches in Electricity, showcased his discovery that the same quantity of electricity that would produce a certain weight of one element would also produce equivalent weights of other elements. Faraday's discovery laid the foundation for the field of electrochemical science and ultimately the development of batteries and other electrochemical systems that are the basis of many technologies that are still essential to modern life.
