Michael faraday is regarded as one of the most distinguished scientists and
inventors of modern times, and his work on electricity is still a subject of study, in the
form of faraday laws. But few know his inspirational life story which is all about
courage and fighting against the odds.
Michael faraday was born into a poverty stricken family in a dirty London suburb.
He suffered from a speech defect as a child. He would Pronounce 'rabbit' as wabbit'.
He could not even say his own name and would call himself fawady.' Other children
laughed at him and teachers did not help him either. When he was twelve, his mother
was forced to take him out of school, thus putting an end to his formal education
Atthirteen, however, he started working with a bookbinder, binding hundreds of
book during the day and staying up all night to read them. Reading thus became his
obsession. One day he came across a book on electricity which had been sent to his
master for binding. He started reading it and was completely hooked. That was his
first introduction to the subject of electricity, which soon became a lifelong fascination.
Faraday was still poor at twenty-one. Once, a friend gave him a free ticket to a
public lecture and demonstration by the renowend chemist Humphry Davy at London's
byal Institution, Davy's work on chemicals and electrical lighting was the subject of
conversation among the scientists of that age. Seventy years later, across the Atlantic
ocean in the USA, the same work enable Thomas Edison to produce the first consistent
light bulb.​
