Faradayscher

Faradayscher is an attributive German adjective derived from the surname Faraday. It denotes things related to the British scientist Michael Faraday or named after him. In technical terms, it appears in eponymous phrases such as Faradaysches Gesetz, der Faradaysche Käfig and die Faradaysche Konstante. The form of the adjective depends on case and article: with a definite article it is usually Faradaysche (for example der Faradaysche Käfig, das Faradaysche Gesetz); in the unarticulated or strongly inflected form it can appear as Faradayscher, as in ein Faradayscher Käfig.

Michael Faraday (1791–1867) was a pivotal figure in 19th-century physics and chemistry. His experiments laid foundational
