6 Famous Electronic Engineers
The modern gadgets we use today have come a long way from the interesting days of inventions of electrical and electronic pioneers. Electronic inventors in the past have made a great contribution in laying a solid foundation of the state of technology today. Here, we take a retrospective into the contributions of some of the most famous electronic engineers . 1. Joseph Henry Joseph Henry was an American scientist who has made several influential contributions to electromagnetism. Joseph Henry developed the electromagnet into a practical device. He also discovered the electromagnetic phenomenon of self-inductance when he was working to build electromagnets. He also invented the electric relay and discovered mutual inductance independently of Michael Faraday. The electric telegraph invented separately by Sir Charles Wheatstone and Samuel F. B. Morse was based on Henry’s electromagnetic relay. The SI unit of inductance, Henry, is named in his honour. 2. Gordon Moore Go...
