Faradayovy

Faradayovy is a Czech adjectival form derived from the name Michael Faraday, used to describe topics, laws, constants, and devices associated with the English physicist and chemist Michael Faraday (1791–1867). Faraday played a pivotal role in the development of electromagnetism and electrochemistry, notably in demonstrations of electromagnetic induction and the laws of electrolysis, and he introduced the concept of the electric field.

In Czech scientific terminology, Faradayovy is used to form terms such as Faradayovy zákony elektrolyzy (Faraday's laws of electrolysis), the Faradayův zákon elektromagnetické indukce (Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction), Faradayova konstanta (Faraday constant, approximately 96485 C/mol), Faradayova klec (Faraday cage), and Faradayův efekt (Faraday effect, the magneto-optical rotation of polarization). The possessive and declension follow standard Czech grammar: Faradayův is used with masculine nouns, Faradayova with feminine nouns, and Faradayovo with neuter nouns.

The usage emphasizes historical attribution and helps distinguish between general concepts and specific laws or devices. Faradayovy terms appear across physics and chemistry texts, educational materials, and encyclopedic references.
