What it is
Faraday demonstrated that the electric charge on a conductor resides on its outer surface without affecting anything inside it, building a room lined with metal foil that he subjected to high-voltage discharges with no effect inside.
What it led to
- Shielding of electronic equipment against radio-frequency interference
- Protection against electric discharges and lightning
