65. Self-Induction
Henry was working on electromagnetic induction at the same time as Faraday
and was the first to actually observe electric self-induction, but Faraday
was the first to publish in 1831 and therefore received credit. Henry went on
to become one of the leading American scientists and the first Secretary of
the Smithsonian Institution. This article was extracted from Richard Taylor's
Scientific Memoirs.
