Biography of Michael Faraday

• Michael Faraday was born on September 22, 1791,


in Newington Butts, Surrey, England. He grew up
in a poor family and received only a basic
education. At the age of 14, he became an
apprentice to a bookbinder, where he learned about
science and electricity by reading books for the
shop's customers.

• Faraday's fascination with science and experimentation led him to attend public
lectures by the famous chemist Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution.

• He took extensive notes in 1812, sent a bound set of these notes to Davy, who
recognized his talent. Impressed by Faraday's passion, Davy offered him a job as
a laboratory assistant, which Faraday eagerly accepted.

• Faraday's work in the Royal Institution's laboratory revolutionized the


understanding of electricity and magnetism. He discovered electromagnetic
induction in 1831, showing how a changing magnetic field could induce an
electric current in a nearby circuit.

• In 1831, he also formulated Faraday's Laws of Electrolysis, which describe the


quantitative relationship between the amount of substance produced during
electrolysis and the amount of electric charge passed through a solution.

• Faraday's pioneering experiments and contributions to the field of


electromagnetism established him as one of the most influential scientists of his
time. He published numerous papers, and his work was widely recognized.

• Faraday's life and scientific contributions continue to inspire generations of


scientists and serve as a testament to the power of curiosity and dedication in the
pursuit of knowledge.
