Charles Wheatstone, English Inventor

Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875), British inventor. He is best known for the Wheatstone Bridge, a device for determining the resistance of an electrical component. Wheatstone was a child prodigy, and by 15 he was translating French, including a book on electricity by Volta. Aged 19, he took over the family business of making musical instruments, but devoted his time to experiments rather than business. He made important contributions to spectroscopy, telegraphy, the physics of electricity, and even cryptography.

Descripción:
Traducción automática: Sir Charles Wheatstone (1802-1875), inventor británico. Es mejor conocido por el Puente de Wheatstone, un dispositivo para determinar la resistencia de un componente eléctrico. Wheatstone era un niño prodigio y a los 15 años ya traducía francés, incluido un libro sobre electricidad de Volta. A los 19 años se hizo cargo del negocio familiar de fabricación de instrumentos musicales, pero dedicó su tiempo a la experimentación más que al negocio. Hizo importantes contribuciones a la espectroscopia, la telegrafía, la física de la electricidad e incluso la criptografía.
