Michael Faraday belonged to the poor family of a blacksmith. His parents were so poor that they were not able to send Faraday to school. At a time when all boys of his age went to school, Faraday was engaged in menial work. Due to the crushing poverty of his family, Faraday was forced to take up several odd jobs that taught him how to fend for himself when he was still a minor.
However, in the course of time, Faraday’s hard work and a flair for science made him one of the most successful scientists of his time in England. Faraday took deep interest in science and made a significant contribution to the study of physics and chemistry. Faraday had an extraordinary number of ingenious ways to work out on scientific methods. This special ability of Faraday’s astonished many renowned scientists of his time.
Faraday was the first scientist who succeeded in liquefying a permanent gas. This was without doubt a great discovery of his time. Moreover, Faraday is much acclaimed for his major contribution to electricity and magnetism. It was Faraday who laid the foundation of the electric motor, the generator, the transformer, etc.
As with physics Faraday was also interested in chemistry. He discovered benzene and used it for different purposes In fact, Faraday didn’t have a university education; but he was still unanimously appointed professor of chemistry at the Royal Institution. This was the acknowledgement of his profound knowledge and ingenious capacity to deal with scientific methods. Faraday’s lectures on science were highly knowledge and fully of witty remarks.
