(37582) Faraday is an asteroid of the main belt that was discovered on October 12, 1990 by the German astronomers Freimut Börngen and Lutz D. Schmadel at the Thuringian State Observatory Tautenburg ( IAU code 033) in the Tautenburger Forest in Thuringia .
It was named on May 26, 2002 after the English naturalist and experimental physicist Michael Faraday (1791–1867), who developed into a leading chemical analyst between 1815 and 1821 and who made numerous discoveries in connection with electromagnetism and electrostatics from 1832 , their best-known result is the Faraday cage named after him .
