DIAS, Valéria Silva y MARTINS, Roberto de Andrade. Michael Faraday: o caminho da livraria à descoberta da indução eletromagnética. Ciência educ. [online]. 2004, vol.10, n.03, pp.517-530. ISSN 1516-7313.
The study of Michael Faraday’s experimental research on electromagnetism developed in the early 19th century provides several components which could be used in Science Teaching. A historical knowledge of the experimental work that led Faraday to the discovery of electromagnetic induction may convey to students a more adequate process of the development of science. However, this can only be done by the use of a detailed and well grounded study of the historical process, leaving aside the naïve simplifications and the myths that are usually told.
