Explanation:
At the age of 13 Faraday started working in a bookbinding shop
Explanation:
Michael Faraday is considered to be one of the greatest experimenters ever. He was born in a hardscrabble neighborhood in London in 1791. Faraday is the inventor of the electric motor. Though best known for his discoveries of electromagnetic induction and of the laws of electrolysis, Faraday contributed a lot in the field of Diamagnetism and the term “diamagnetism” was coined by Michael Faraday himself.
Faraday attended a day school where he learned to read, write and count. Born to poor family, Faraday didn’t have enough to eat. Moreover, he had a speech impediment. So when one day the school master beat young Faraday severely, his family decided to curtail his formal education. But a born seeker of knowledge, Faraday’s quest for wisdom didn’t stop there.
At the age of 13 Faraday started working in a bookbinding shop. Unlike other bookbinders, Faraday started reading many of the books he came across. After attending lectures given by Sir Humphry Davy at the Royal Institution, Faraday started dreaming of working for this great scientist. Though it was not that easy to get an assistantship with such a famous scientist, he was hired by Davy in 1813, and so he learned chemistry at the side of one of the greatest scientists of the era.
Michael Faraday was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1824. In 1825, he was appointed as the director of laboratory at the Royal Institution. At the age of 42 he was appointed to the Fullerian Professorship of Chemistry.
As a result of nonstop experimentation and theoretical research, this great scientist started suffering from a nervous breakdown in 1839. Fortunately, he did recover his health and began intense research activity again in 1845. Faraday was offered the Presidency of the Royal Society in 1857. But he declined the offer and preferred to continue to lecture at the Royal Institution. He continued to give the children’s Christmas lectures, which he introduced in 1826, till 1860. Michael Faraday, one of the most influential scientists and finest experimenters in history, died in 1867.
