Michael Faraday Michael Faraday was born in England in 1792.He was interested in science and specially in physics and chemistry and would attend public lectures by prominent scientists and perform simple experiments at home. At the age of 22,Michael Faraday secured a job as assistant to Sir Humphry Davy,the inventor of Davy's safety lamp.Davy put him to work washing bottles in the laboratory and paid him less than bookbinder. But Faraday didn't mind.He was now among scientists!When he finished washing bottles he would watch the experiments going on in the laboratory. Gradually he started doing experiments on his own. He devised methods for liquefying gasses such as carbon dioxide and chlorine,and he became the first to produce temperatures in the laboratory that were below the zero mark. He became interested in electricity and found that moving a magnet through a coil of copper wire causes an electric current to flow on the wire. The electric generator and electric motors work on this principle.Faraday received degrees and awards from many universities and several attractive business proposals came his way but he was not interested. He believed in in simple and high thinking. Albert Einstein kept a picture of Faraday on his study wall ,alongside picture of Isaac Newton and James Clerk Maxwell. Ernest Rutherford, the father of nuclear physics,stated,"When we consider the magnitude and extent of his discoveries and their influence on the progress for science and industry, there is no honour too great to pay to he memory of Faraday.one of the greatest scientific discoveries of all time.
