Description

The Faraday cage, named after Michael Faraday, is an enclosure of conductive material that blocks external electric fields. This happens because charges in the conductor rearrange to cancel out the external field. It is found in everyday items like microwaves and car bodies, protecting occupants from lightning. Faraday cages are also essential in scientific research and telecommunications to create controlled environments and protect sensitive equipment. Its principle is utilized in various forms depending on the intended application. Even in popular culture, Faraday cages are featured as protective devices against technology or electromagnetic attacks.
